Taiwan: Wulai 烏來


Wulai is a small town outside of Taipei. Nestled among tall mountains, Wulai is known for its odorless hot springs. I went there with some friends and we took many pictures of the stunning vistas and the waterfall. Afterwards, we soaked in the public hot springs along the river which felt so therapeutic. I would love to do it again and spend more time hiking some of the trails in the area. To read about the our day, click HERE.

How to get to Wulai:
Take bus 849 from Xindian MRT station in Taipei to the last stop which brings you into the town slightly past the footbridge. Sit on the right side to get the best views.
