✨ Nature-themed Taiwan: Laomei – Yehliu – Wulai: Unadulterated Beauty
If you're looking for a trip near Taipei filled with pristine nature and a touch of local culture, Laomei – Yehliu – Wulai is truly worth the journey.
📍Start at Laomei (Laomei Green Reef), a scenic seaside spot with a long stretch of emerald-green volcanic rock along the coast. It's a breathtaking sight, especially during spring (March–May), when green algae blanket the rocks, creating a captivating natural carpet. The gentle sound of waves crashing against the rocks and the cool sea breeze make this a perfect place to unwind.
🪨Nearby is Yehliu Geopark, one of Taiwan's most iconic landmarks. Its unique rock formations are the result of thousands of years of wind and sea erosion. The highlight is the Queen's Head, a rock resembling a queen's head that has become the park's symbol. Other notable attractions include Mushroom Rock, Honeycomb Rock, and Tofu Rock. Equally breathtaking, the nature trails are well-maintained, perfect for both photography and leisure travelers.
🌿End your day with a tranquil retreat at Wulai Falls in New Taipei City. Home to both the Atayal ethnic group and a renowned natural hot spring, Wulai Falls cascades 80 meters high, cascading down a cliff amidst lush forests. The trail to the falls can be reached on foot or by the charming and classic Wulai Log Cart. The surrounding area also features scenic cafes, local restaurants, and an old street filled with souvenirs and local delicacies, such as Taiwanese sausage, stir-fried wild boar with chili, and local snacks only available here.
🧖♀️For those looking to relax, don't forget to visit the riverside hot springs, which offer both resort-style and free outdoor baths. It's a unique and heartwarming experience.
📌This trip is perfect for a day trip from Taipei, or you can stay overnight to fully immerse yourself in nature. It's easily accessible via MRT, bus, or taxi, taking less than 1–1.5 hours from the city center.
