Wulai

we just returned from a little trip we took last night to Wulai, a little vacation town popular for natural hot springs and waterfalls. tucked between some mountains and surrounded by rivers, its an aboriginal township that still practices its origianl culture and traditions. so along with gorgeous views and soaking in sulfur enriched waters, we got to experience a bit of anchient asian culture as well. we stayed in a hot spring hotel/spa and enjoyed our own little hot spring in our room. today we hiked around the top of the waterfall area for a while and then soaked our feet in a natural hot spring river, which is pretty much as cool as it sounds. it ws really relaxing so theres nothing too crazy to talk about so ill keep this one short. we posted a lot of pictures though, so keep on scrollin!
