- Attractions Introduction -
- Martial Arts Tribe:
Wujie, located approximately five kilometers south of Qubing, sits on the border of Xinyi and Ren'ai Townships. It was also the site of a ceasefire and reconciliation between the Atayal tribe in the north and the Bunun tribe in the south. The Ganzhuowan Mountains marked the boundary between the two sides, preventing them from crossing, hence the name Wujie. Nestled deep in the mountains, the area boasts numerous suspension bridges, the most famous being the Changhong Suspension Bridge spanning the Zhuoshui River. The village boasts beautiful scenery and abundant stands of wild safflower. It's a great place for those interested in exploring the village in Nantou County.
- Momonar Waterfall, with its beautiful yet somewhat mysterious name, means "place with water" in the Bunun language. Located upstream of the Wujie Dam Reservoir, Momonar boasts abundant water year-round, earning it the nickname "Wujie Spring." The trail leading to the waterfall hugs the mountainside on one side and borders the Wujie Reservoir on the other, with a gentle drop of only 50 meters. The path crosses four temporary iron bridges, adding a touch of excitement. As you approach the falls, you enter a wading area, knee-deep and gently flowing, with refreshingly cool water and the sight of fish swimming freely, a truly delightful experience. The waterfall drops about 20 meters, and the powerful downward flow creates a narrow line of sky. The mountain walls are dyed bronze and orange by the iron splashing over the years, which is very beautiful. The clear spring is hidden in the concave valley, and the lake water is sometimes as blue as lake water and sometimes as green as matcha. The white waterfall steps complement the lush green of the mountain, making it a superb secret place at the end of the Qubing Ancient Trail.
- Wujie's "One Line Sky" is located on the Wuba Highway, which isn't actually a road. Rather, it's the riverbed of the Zhuoshui River from Wujie to Bakulas. Due to siltation, the riverbed has narrowed, leaving vast expanses of sandy, gravelly flatland a haven for cyclists, off-road motorcycles, and jeeps. Cyclists have taken the abbreviation of the two places and dubbed it "Wuba Highway," sometimes even "Highway 58," misleadingly mistaking it for a regular highway. This "One Line Sky," available only during the dry season, is a must-see attraction in Wujie.

FAQ
Wujie Tribe is known as the 'Home of Clouds.' The best time to admire the sea of clouds is typically in autumn and winter (around October to March). 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. As local weather can change rapidly, it's advisable to check the weather forecast before your trip and pack warm clothing.
Wujie Tribe is primarily inhabited by indigenous people of the 'Bunun' tribe. When visiting, please be sure to respect local customs and pace of life, such as not entering private areas without permission, not disturbing the lives of the residents, and not damaging the natural environment. When participating in tribal activities, listen attentively to explanations and experience the traditional culture and hospitality of the Bunun people.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Accommodation experiences in Wujie Tribe are distinctive, usually offering options that blend with the local environment, such as yurt experiences that allow visitors to enjoy a tranquility different from the city under the starry sky. These accommodations often provide basic amenities and emphasize a connection with nature. Booking in advance and confirming the type of accommodation can ensure an experience that better meets your expectations.
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.
