September 30, 2021 Layne Dawes

Visiting Taipei? Don't limit your sightseeing to the city center. Also known as New Taipei City, Xinbei covers more than 2000 square kilometers of Taiwan, including coastlines, hot springs, temples, historic landmarks and more. At Yeliu Coast, strange and fascinating rock formations rise from the rocky coastline. The Lin Ben-Yuan Family Abode and Garden is a tranquil place featuring graceful Chinese landscaping.

Most of the area from the old town to the waterfall is pretty scenic. Walking over the cable bridge is a good experience. The highlight is of course the waterfall.

Wulai Log Cart

These log carts were originally used to transport lumbering machines and tools in addition to lumber. In the beginning, they were hand-powered trains for carrying passengers; however, they have been transformed into power-driven carts for the increasing number of tourists. The special 1.5 kilometers of railway to the waterfalls is now used for tourism purposes. If you come to Neidong, you must try this last remaining train of its kind in Taiwan to experience the atmosphere of times past.

Such a cute little trolley ride up to the waterfall. It was worth the cost as if you had to walk to the waterfall it would have been quite a long walk. The scenery was gorgeous along the way! This was so fun! We loved it!
