The Aboriginal view toward development here is split; those running springs and eateries can't wait for the increase in visitors, but as Tsai Chiu-feng, who married into a Wulai family 25 years ago, says, although the development will bring more visitors, this will bring with it an increase in pollution.
對於開發，烏來住民的看法也兩極。從事溫泉、餐飲的業者們，無不希望能加速開發以招攬客人；但嫁到烏來二十五年的蔡秋楓則認為，開發雖然能增加就業，但是隨著觀光客日增，污染也越來越嚴重，「溪裡的水沒有以前清澈了，山路在車輛重壓下有時也柔腸寸斷，」她說。
