The Nanshi River flows through Wulai's mountainous terrain, providing a range of outdoor activities against a backdrop of forested slopes. Its clear, fast-moving waters are ideal for rafting, especially during the summer months when several operators run guided trips. For a quieter experience, visitors can fish for trout or walk along the riverside paths that connect to Wulai Old Street. The river also features natural swimming holes and hot spring outlets near its banks.
Don't miss
- Ride the rapids on a guided white-water rafting trip (seasonal, summer).
- Walk the riverside trail from Wulai Old Street to the Wulai Waterfall.
- Try your hand at fishing for rainbow trout in designated areas.
