Wulai Waterfall is in Wulai District in southern New Taipei, northern Taiwan, about 21 km south of the capital, Taipei, in a straight line. In Taiwanese Hokkien it is called Kuân-tsuí, meaning high water. The waterfall is about 80 metres high and 10 metres wide. Wulai is a mountain district home to the indigenous Atayal people, the largest and most mountainous district of New Taipei, famous for its odourless hot springs, and visitors come in spring to see the cherry trees bloom. White water pours in a long ribbon down a forested cliff above the Nanshi River valley, with mist often wrapping the peaks around it. Platforms and terraces on the opposite bank look out on the falls. Visitors reach the base of the falls on the little Wulai Scenic Train to Waterfall Stop, and combine the trip with the town's hot spring baths and local food. Hiking, camping and birdwatching are also popular in the area.
