New place to explore in Taiwan
Chanced upon Wulai from other blogs when I was planned my Taiwan travel itinerary.
Getting there: Take MRT from Taipei Main Station to Xindian (Bitan) Station to transfer to Bus No. 849, where the bus ends at Wulai District Scenic Area.
After we reached Xindian (Bitan) Station, we headed straight for the bus stop but the bus interval was around an hour long. So we walked around and chanced upon a lake beside the bus interchange. That place is actually Bitan Scenic Area.

Lunch time
Still quite sometime, we decided to fill our stomach. Just around the bus interchange, there is a Formosa Chang 胡须张 an outlet and fortunately, it was already opened for business.

A quick lunch and we headed back to wait for Bus 849 to Wulai District Scenic Area.
The bus stop for our bus is not at the interchange, but along the roadside. When we board the bus, it was almost full house. And along the way as we head up to Wulai, the bus was totally packed. A Guide Map for Wulai District Scenic Area
The gloomy weather (once again) welcomed us. So we didn't loiter around long and headed straight for the waterfall area. To the waterfall area, a LONG walk is possible, but we opted for a short train ride 10 mins ride instead.
The train
It was starting to rain heavily. So we didn't went up to the waterfall.
Instead, we went to the cafe and chill out before we head out of Wulai District Scenic Area.
Conclusion: Although my original destination was to Wulai District Scenic Area, but I took more pictures of Bitan Scenic Area as compared to Wulai District Scenic Area.
Done with our short visit at Wulai District Scenic Area, we went back to the bus terminal to board Bus 849 to get back to the Xindian (Bitan) Station.
