Wulai, Taipei County - Hot river springs



Today we headed out to a little aboriginal village called Wulai in Taipei County. About 30k out of the city, it's famous for its hot springs (hooray, says Leese!). The waters are heated by a semi-active volcano in the region and are similar to those in Beitou in that they're sulphurous and said to be good for the skin. Unlike Beitou, however, where we bathed in the local public baths, this time we bathed in the Wulai River at the base of the mountains.. A stunning backdrop and water so warm, it was fantastic!

After relaxing in the riverbed, we headed out for some lunch in a cafe overlooking the river, before catching the "Wulai small train" up to the famous waterfalls of Wulai... Stunning! We headed back to Taipei City this afternoon feeling refreshed and happy....
