8 MUST-TRY ACTIVITIES IN WULAI, TAIWAN

Known for their hot springs and as the most accessible Aboriginal Village from Taipei, 𝗪𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗶 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘁 is a destination not only for foreigners, but for locals as well. 🇹🇼

It’s one of the most interesting places we’ve visited during our stay in Taiwan and here are a few must-try activities if you are heading to Wulai:

Food crawl at Wulai Old Street

Stretches about 200 meters long, this street is packed with stores selling souvenirs and local delicacies. It’s recommended to have a leisurely stroll to thoroughly explore what these local stores are offering. A couple of must-try snacks include the grilled sticky rice and wild boar sausage.

Most of the stores open at 10am.

Wulai Scenic Train

Besides strolling along the Lover’s Trail or hopping in a cab, a charming alternative to reach Wulai Waterfalls is the scenic log cart ride. For just NTD 50, you can enjoy a 1.5 km journey from the starting station to the falls, which takes around 7 minutes.

Operates from 8am to 5pm (weather and holidays may affect this schedule)

Yun Hsien Resort Cable Car

Enjoy the stunning aerial view of Yunxian Paradise while riding the gondola to Yun Hsien Resort. Although NTD 300 may seem a bit pricey for just a few minutes’ ride, the breathtaking scenery makes it well worth it. Besides, it’s the only way to reach the resort.

Operates from 8am to 5pm (weather and holidays may affect this schedule)

Walk Around Yun Hsien Resort

Strolling around the area of this resort is one of the most breathtaking activities – literally and figuratively! You’ll find yourself trekking through scenic trails while being in awe of the forest’s natural beauty.

There are also activities to choose from, such as rowing, archery, and an afternoon tea experience.

Unwind at the Resort’s Coffee Shop

After a day of trekking around the area, unwinding here is a great option for tourists. The shop offers a variety of meals, fresh juices, and coffee to enjoy. I’d definitely come back to this spot to reflect and clear my mind.

Food prices range from NTD 100 to NTD 330.

Wulai Falls & Nanshi River Sightseeing

Of course, a visit to Wulai wouldn’t be complete without seeing the Wulai Waterfalls and the Nanshi River. Many tourists also stop by Warrior Plaza and Wulai Forestry Museum, or dine at Three Cafe for the best views of the falls.

Hot Springs

Wulai is best known for its odorless and colorless hot springs. The area is filled with spas and hotels offering an authentic Wulai hot spring experience, ranging from affordable public baths to the most exclusive and luxurious options.

Take the MRT Songshan-Xindian Line (green line bound for Xindian Station)

Catch bus no. 849 and ride it all the way to the last stop – Wulai Terminal Station.

#MUSTBEABOVE CHINESE RESTAURANT IN POBLACION, MAKATI

Cravings of the day? Chinese food!

Located in the busy street of Makati Avenue, with a pleasant ambience, great food reviews, and a fair parking space, we knew that NEXT DOOR NOODLES would be a nice place to satisfy our cravings!

They offer a wide selection of Chinese dishes inciting within us the compulsion to order almost everything on their menu. Sooooo, to avoid over ordering, we ended up asking a recommendation from their staff. Among her recos were their Fresh Chinese Amoy Lumpia & Chinese Bagoong with Lechon Macau. These instantly became our favorites.

Their dumplings have delightful tastes and generous fillings.

We also went a bit adventurous and ordered their Century Egg with Jelly Fish Salad. The century egg, with its earthy and a little yeasty taste, the jellyfish, having a slight salty taste, and their seasoning, got this dish bursting with flavor.

Their Salted Garlic Squid and Salt & Pepper Spare Ribs are both juicy and tender, and perfectly went together with vinegar and chilli sauce.

Lastly, they also got a very refreshing Sago & Gulaman Cooler and Fresh Lemonade drink.

Definitely a #MustBeAbove restaurant!

YAOWARAT CHINATOWN BANGKOK

With a wide selection of food, Yaowarat Road, also known as Bangkok’s Chinatown, is considered as the best location for streetfood in Thailand.

Being one of the most recommended places in Bangkok, this must be included in everyone’s itinerary to discover more authentic Thai food, to know and be immersed in their culture, and to meet nice locals.

Not to mention, this road turns into a vibrant neighborhood at night with their illuminated electric signages, making it more fascinating to everyone

After your weekend Divisoria strolls, indulge yourself with these affordable yet scrumptious Chinese dishes at Wai Ying Fast Food in Binondo, Manila. 💕

We tried a lot on their menu but the ones I liked best, which I will include under my #MustBeAbove list were their Fried Lumpia, Lemon Chicken, Hakaw and Milk Tea Jelly.

Looking forward to our Binondo Food Crawl and we will definitely visit Wai Ying again.
