Trip to Wu Lai

After finishing my first full week of classes at National Taiwan Normal University, Annie and I went to a special place 30-40 minutes outside of Taipei City called Wu Lai (烏來). According to Wikipedia, Wu Lai gets its name from the Atayal phrase kirofu ulai meaning "hot and poisonous" -- It is most famous for its hot springs and beautiful scenery. We got off the bus a little early so that we could hike a couple Kilometers to Wu Lai along a trail which follows the river. We took some pictures along our hike as well as at the hot springs / river where we went swimming and enjoyed the natural baths.
