If you’re visiting the Xindian area in New Taipei, it’s worth taking a trip to Neidong in Wulai. Park your car at the Xinxian Trail entrance and walk inward until you reach the Neidong Recreation Area entrance, where tickets are sold (New Taipei residents get a discount). Along the way, you’ll be rewarded with plenty of beautiful scenery—and right now, the waterfalls are especially powerful and spectacular.

You can also take the Wulai Scenic Cable Car, which crosses the Nanshi River and offers breathtaking views of the waterfalls and surrounding mountains. Length: approximately 320 metres Vertical drop: about 160 metres Ride time: around 5 minutes

At the top, you can enjoy views of Wulai Waterfall, stroll along scenic walking paths, and visit Yun Hsien Resort. The area is about a 1.5-hour drive from Taipei.
