Wulai District (Atayal: Ulay; {{zh|c=烏來區|p=Wūlái Qū|poj=U-lai-khu}})[1] is a mountain indigenous district in southern New Taipei City in northern Taiwan. It sits near the border with Taipei and is famous for its hot springs.[2] It is the largest district in New Taipei, as well as the most mountainous, and is home to the indigenous Atayal people.

Name

The name of the town derives from the Atayal phrase kilux ulay meaning "hot and poisonous" when an Atayal hunter hunting by a stream saw mist coming from the stream.[3]

History

Formerly classified as "Aboriginal Area" under Taihoku Prefecture during Japanese rule. After the handover of Taiwan from Japan to the Republic of China in 1945, Wulai was organized as a rural township of Taipei County. On 25 December 2010, Taipei County was upgraded to a special municipality named New Taipei City and Wulai was upgraded into a district.

In August 2015, Wulai was devastated by Typhoon Soudelor, wiping out several hotels and destroying hot springs in the region. Course of the Nanshi River that passes through the district has changed and the riverbank was eroded heavily by surging water.[2] Heavy landslides were attributed to the overdevelopment of the mountain areas around the river which damaged the soil and watershed along the slope lands.[4]
