Day trip to Wulai Waterfalls 烏來瀑布

It was a perfect day for a road trip on one of the days after my Dr. Dog service at the hospital.


Let me think of a place to go!


I looked to the left


and to the right....no one in sight! Maybe I should play some fetch first.


Lift off!!!


Got it!

Such a good weather, I think we should check out Wulai.

Wulai is a tourist town well known for its hot springs, sightseeing, and aboriginal culture. It is also a popular place to see cherry blossoms in spring.

Our first stop is the famous 80 meters high Wulai Waterfall (烏來瀑布).


Here it is!


Err....that's all?


That's quite a sad trickle of water. Seriously I expected more of it, I was thinking of seeing something like The Niagara Falls!


At least the magnificent view and fresh air made up for the sad looking waterfall.


This is the cable car that takes you to Yun-xian Theme Park (雲仙樂園) which is on top of the mountain hill. We were told that the building of a man-made lake at the park resulted in the significant decrease of water at the waterfall. Such a pity!


Time for lunch!


We are going to try some Aboriginal Tribe food.


Steamed sticky rice in bamboo tube


Chicken!


Freshwater fish cooked in two ways, steamed and


boiled in soup.


Bitter gourd with salted egg and fried noodles.

All paws up for the fresh and yummy food and then we said bye bye to the miserable waterfall.
