Neidong National Forest Recreation Area

Wulai is a low altitude valley region in New Taipei City, noted for its ecological diversity and natural scenic beauty. Just a few minutes’ drive from Wulai Old Street, an evergreen broadleaf forest awaits you to enjoy and explore at your leisure, and that is Neidong National Forest Recreation Area.

There is a surprise around every corner within this forest, where a wealth of flora and fauna can be found. Butterflies and beetles will greet you from all directions, and like a natural botanic garden, the lush forest is full of moss, lichen and greenery. If you are lucky enough, you might spot wild monkeys walking between the canopies and swinging through the jungle. But there is one thing for sure: wherever you go, the churning birds and buzzing insects will accompany you throughout the journey.

Neidong Waterfall, also known as Xinxian (信賢) or Wawa Valley (娃娃谷), is definitely the big draw here. Named one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Taiwan, this three-tier waterfall generates the most negative ions of all the forests in Taiwan, which contribute to your wellbeing and help alleviate your body.
