2. Detail
The name Uray is said to come from the Atayal word Kiluh-ulay, meaning hot and dangerous water. It was originally the base of the Atayal people, Taiwan's indigenous people , and still has a high proportion of indigenous people . During the period of unification , it belonged to Wenshan County, Taipei Province, but no administrative district was established because it was called a district. However, in 1949, Wulai Township was established, and Taipei County was promoted to New Taipei City, which is what it is today. It is currently designated as a mountain indigenous people's district.
It is famous for Wulai Hot Springs . If you take city bus number 849 from Xindian Station, it takes about 30 to 40 minutes. You can take the cable car from Wulai to go to Yunshen Paradise (雲仙樂園).[1] The mini railway, which is a recycled version of the human-located railway built to transport coal from Wulai to Xindian Station, is also famous. In fact, during the matching period , coal was extracted from a nearby coal mine .
The river water is pastel blue, creating a strange scenery. Local residents build simple bathhouses that contain hot spring water from the river and enjoy open-air hot springs by the river for free. Of course, tourists can enjoy it together as long as they have a swimsuit.[2] There are baths filled with water in a terraced manner near the river. The water is relatively hot at the top, and the temperature decreases as you go down. The temperature of the river water is quite cool even in the middle of summer. There are few Koreans, and the majority are local elders or white tourists who are accustomed to not caring much about what others think. Because the river flows quite quickly, local residents take turns floating paddle boats on the river to act as safety guards and manage and maintain the river.[3] Of course, there are also baths where you can enjoy the hot springs by just soaking your feet.
As of 2016-2017, as part of the river redevelopment project, the open-air hot spring is not in operation and the entire riverbed is under construction, so if you were expecting beautiful scenery and quiet nature, you may be disappointed.
Commercial hot spring facilities are also gathered around the river, and the prices are almost the same, but the facilities differ in age, so you can choose a place with good reviews at travel information cafes. If you walk up to the end of the road lined with commercial hot spring facilities (20 to 30 minutes), you will reach Urai Falls. If you pay $50 for an adult and take the tourist train, you can get there in 5 minutes.

[1] After rumors that repair work was carried out after the typhoon in 16, it could not be officially reopened, and more than half of the facilities were under repair or closed.[2] There are cubicle-type shacks where you can change clothes roughly, and there are facilities where you can take a shower instead of using soap.[3] If you float your body in the river and stay still, you will float away at a fairly fast speed...
