The Nanshi ( Chinese 南 勢 溪 , Pinyin Nánshìxī ) is a river in the north of the island of Taiwan . It rises in the mountains of the Wulai district of New Taipei city and flows for a length of 45 km through the Wulai and Xindian districts , where it joins the Beishi to form the Xindian River . The forested and mountainous nature on both sides of the Nanshi is scenic. The river crosses the Nandong Forest Recreation Area , which has hiking trails for visitors. A special attraction is the Wulai waterfall , which falls from a rock face on the right bank of the river .
