Monkey Cave Waterfall Introduction
The Monkey Cave Stream Head, located within the boundary of Baiyun Village, was historically known as "Monkey Cave Pit" and is also referred to as "Stream Head." Today, it is commonly called "Bai Shijiao." According to local legends, many macaques once inhabited the caves, which is how it got its name. The Monkey Cave Pit originates from the eastern foothills of Si Du Mountain and is approximately five kilometers long, making it one of the important rivers in Jiaoxi Township. The Monkey Cave Pit serves as the boundary river between Toucheng and Jiaoxi townships; the upper reaches, about one kilometer, belong to Jiaoxi Township, while the middle and lower reaches fall under Toucheng Township. In 1917, embankments and irrigation canals were constructed to facilitate agricultural water supply and prevent flash floods. A plaque was inscribed at the waterfall's source to commemorate this event, with the words "Monkey Cave Stream Head" displayed beside the creek. The water of the Monkey Cave Stream Waterfall flows rapidly with significant elevation changes. Visitors can enjoy the waterfall and take leisurely walks along the trails, promoting physical health while absorbing phytoncides! The waterflow of the Monkey Cave Stream Waterfall is exceptionally clear. From the Monkey Cave Stream Waterfall, one can overlook the landscape of the Lanyang area.
