Monkey Cave Waterfall Introduction
The Monkey Cave River, located within the Baiyun Village, was formerly known as "Monkey Cave Pit" and is also referred to as "River Head", while locals now call it "Baishi Jiao". According to legends, many macaques resided in the stone caves in ancient times, which inspired its name. The Monkey Cave River originates from the eastern foothills of Mount Sidu, stretching five kilometers, and is one of the important rivers in Jiaoxi Township. The Monkey Cave River serves as the boundary river between Toucheng and Jiaoxi townships, with the upstream section being solely within Jiaoxi Township while the middle and downstream sections belong to Toucheng Township. In 1917, to facilitate agricultural irrigation and prevent flash floods, embankments and canal systems were constructed. In front of the waterfall's source, inscriptions were made to document this event, and the words "Monkey Cave River Head" were placed by the creek. The water flow of the Monkey Cave River Waterfall is fast and features a considerable elevation drop. In addition to enjoying the waterfall, visitors can also stroll along the paths, promoting physical health and absorbing phytoncides! The water flow of the Monkey Cave River Waterfall is remarkably clear. From the Monkey Cave River Waterfall, one can overlook the scenery of the Lanyang area.
