Monkey Cave Waterfall Introduction
The Monkey Cave Stream Head, located within Baiyun Village, was historically known as "Monkey Cave Pit" and is also referred to as "Stream Head," while locals now call it "Baishi Jiao." Legend has it that many macaques once inhabited the stone caves, hence the name. The Monkey Cave Stream originates from the eastern foothills of Si Du Mountain, stretching five kilometers in length, and is one of the important rivers in Jiaoxi Township. The Monkey Cave Stream serves as the boundary river between Toucheng and Jiaoxi Townships, with the upstream section belonging to Jiaoxi Township for about one kilometer, while the middle and downstream sections belong to Toucheng Township. In 1917, dams and irrigation channels were constructed for agricultural irrigation and to prevent flash floods, with inscriptions made at the waterfall's source to document this event. The characters "Monkey Cave Stream Head" stand beside the creek. The water of the Monkey Cave Stream waterfall flows rapidly with a significant height difference. In addition to viewing the waterfall, visitors can also take walks along the trails to promote physical health and experience the benefits of phytoncides! The water flowing at the Monkey Cave Stream waterfall is extraordinarily clear. From the waterfall, one can enjoy a view of the Lanyang area.
