Wulai waterfall

just 5 minutes away from the hotspring and at the end of wulai old street was a mini train station



with mini trains that ferry visitors to and from wulai waterfall in less than 6 minutes

alternative was to walk the 1.6km up-slope on a pathway which they termed "Lover's Trail" (情人步道).... my suggestion is to take the train up at NT$50 (S$2.15) and walk down Lover's Trail instead....



the mini train that can only ferry 11 people at any one time



lots of greenery along the train ride up/down


video taken during the trip down


was surprised to see a cross up in the mountain... asked our cab driver about it and he said it was erected to commemorate the priest who was killed by falling rocks in that area 20 - 30 years ago...





Wulai waterfall

though not as majestic as the one at shifen, it has its own charm, like a sexy lady, that can make you stare at it for a long long while



with water that flows towards the hotspring area



us resting in the mini museum


had a little fun playing with the stamp provided ... =)
