－ Attraction Introduction －
Wujie Tribe:
Located about five kilometers south of Qubing, Wujie sits at the border between Xinyi Township and Ren'ai Township. It was the site where the Atayal people from the north and the Bunun people from the south signed a ceasefire agreement, using Zhuozhuowan Mountain as the boundary. Thus, it was named Wujie. The area is located deep in the mountains with many suspension bridges, the most famous being the Changhong Suspension Bridge spanning the Zhuoshui River. The tribe boasts beautiful scenery and large fields of wild Mexican sunflowers. It is an excellent destination for those seeking an in-depth cultural tour of the tribes in Nantou County.
Momonal Waterfall
'Momonal' is a beautiful name with a touch of mystery, meaning 'place with water' in the Bunun language. Located upstream of the Wujie Dam reservoir, it has abundant water flow all year round and is known as the 'Spring of Wujie.' The path to the waterfall hugs the mountain wall on one side and the Wujie Reservoir on the other, with a gentle elevation change of only 50 meters, making it a comfortable walk. Along the way, you will cross four iron pipe bridges, adding a bit of excitement. As you approach the waterfall, you will enter a wading area where the water is knee-deep and calm. The stream is cool and clear, with fish visible, which is a delightful surprise. The waterfall has a drop of about 20 meters, and the powerful downward flow has created the 'Yixiantian' (Thread of Sky) landscape. The mountain walls are stained bronze and orange due to long-term mineral deposits, making them very beautiful. The clear spring is hidden in a recessed valley, with the water sometimes appearing lake-blue and other times matcha-green. The white waterfall reflecting against the lush green mountains makes it a premier hidden gem at the end of the Qubing Ancient Trail.Wujie Yixiantian (Thread of Sky)
Wujie Yixiantian is located on the Wuba Highway. The Wuba Highway is not a real highway but the riverbed of the Zhuoshui River from Wujie to Bakulas. Due to silt accumulation, the river channel has narrowed, and the vast sandy and gravel plains have become a paradise for cyclists, off-road motorcycles, and jeep enthusiasts. Riders abbreviated the two locations to call it the 'Wuba Highway,' and it is even nicknamed the '58 Highway,' leading people to mistake it for a regular road. The Yixiantian, accessible only during the dry season, is an absolute must-visit attraction when in Wujie.

Grand views of rolling clouds are more easily seen in the early morning. For sunrise, it depends on the weather and time; head to a viewpoint early in the morning to wait.

3. Is a prior mountain entry permit or any special permission required for traveling to Wujie Tribe?
Wujie Tribe is located in Ren'ai Township, Nantou County. Entering the tribe itself does not require a special mountain entry permit. However, if you plan to visit certain restricted areas or apply for special guided tours, there may be relevant regulations. Participating in group tours, usually arranged and coordinated by the travel agency, can save you the trouble of applying yourself. It is recommended that visitors follow the itinerary arranged by a professional guide or travel agency.
4. What suitable attire and footwear are recommended for participating in Wujie Tribe's dragon scale stone treasure hunt, Yixiantian, and waterfall tours?
For outdoor adventure tours in Wujie Tribe, it is recommended to wear lightweight, moisture-wicking long-sleeved shirts and pants to protect against insect bites and scratches from plants. For footwear, be sure to choose non-slip shoes with good grip, such as river tracing shoes or sports sandals, as the tours often involve wading and the ground can be slippery. Additionally, bringing a hat, sun protection, drinking water, and a waterproof backpack is also essential.
5. Besides the sea of clouds and sunrise, what other natural hidden gems or distinctive attractions are worth experiencing deeply during a Wujie Tribe tour?
In addition to the magnificent sea of clouds and sunrise, Wujie Tribe boasts many natural hidden gems. For example, the 'Wujie Yixiantian' (a narrow canyon) features unique geological formations; the scenery around the 'Wujie Dam' is breathtaking; the 'Xiaonan Trail' allows you to immerse yourself in forest phytoncides; 'Momonael Waterfall' offers a water-play challenge; and the 'Dragon Scale Stone Treasure Hunt' is a unique cultural experience where you can discover nature's artwork.
6. What is the difficulty level of the Momonael Waterfall tour, and what are the safety precautions?
The Momonael Waterfall tour is of moderate difficulty, requiring river tracing on foot, with some sections possibly slippery or requiring climbing. Participants are advised to have basic physical fitness and wear river tracing shoes. Safety precautions include: always follow the instructions of the professional guide, do not act alone, be mindful of slippery surfaces underfoot, avoid visiting during rain or when water levels are high, and prepare sufficient drinking water and basic first-aid supplies.
7. For a two-day trip to Wujie Tribe, what are the unique accommodation options?

Booking in advance and confirming the type of accommodation can ensure an experience that better meets your expectations.
8. Where and when are the dragon scale stone treasure hunt activities typically held in Wujie Tribe?
Dragon scale stone treasure hunt activities in Wujie Tribe are usually held in the riverbeds around the tribe or in specific areas. These locations, due to water erosion, offer opportunities to find stones with unique patterns. The activities are generally scheduled during the daytime, led by local guides who explain how to identify dragon scale stones and their cultural significance. The treasure hunt is a fun process, but it's also important to be mindful of safety in the riverbed.
