Wulai locates the most south of Taipei County with total area of 321 square kilometers and Wulai is the only hilly village. Wulai is named after its older name from Wulai organization, Urail. Its legend can be traced back 300 years ago when the native Atayal tribal people hunted at Wulai found smoking hot water gushed from river valley then yelled "Uraikirofu" urai that means steaming hot. The native used hot spring gushed from Nan-Shih Stream as their natural bath tub so hot spring in Wulai has history of 300 years. During the Japanese occupied period, the Japanese built the "Police Club" on east side of Nan-Shih Stream for the Japanese police and built public bathroom for the native to use on west side.

平溪風景線 基隆河、新店溪與大漢溪分別為淡水河的三大支流，它們流經山區所造成之河谷地形景觀各具特色，其中由於基隆河缺乏上游性的深窄峽谷，因此景觀變得相當特別。 基隆河發源於台北縣的平溪鄉，從源頭到三貂嶺之間，這一段基隆河谷坡度平緩且頗為寬暢，向下侵蝕的力量也不大，加上集水區內雨量充沛，因此河水流量能夠經年豐盛，尤其在十分寮附近的河床上，出現許多的瀑布，由基隆河河床斷層陷落所造成的十分瀑布，為台灣寬度最廣的簾幕式瀑布，與台灣一般懸壁式的狹長型瀑布大異其趣。岩性是第一個有利於瀑布形成的原因，在十分寮瀑布的東方，露出大華段岩層，抗蝕力較弱，而新寮砂岩位居大華段之上，是一種上部堅硬、下部鬆軟的組合，因此在河流長期侵蝕下，瀑布下方的大華段下切速度較大，瀑布的落差也因而逐漸加大，造就一個非常壯觀的十分瀑布。 勢磅薄的十分瀑布有「台灣尼加拉瀑布」之稱，十分瀑布由基隆河河床斷層形成罕見的寬廣簾幕瀑布，落差約20公尺，寬約40公尺，如水晶匹練般直瀉而下，在陽光照射中呈現出七色彩虹斜倚著下方淵潭，故亦有「彩虹淵」之美名。
