Yunlin Waterfall Introduction
Yun Sen Waterfall, located in the Xiong Kong area of Sanxia District, New Taipei City, is situated upstream on the Zhongkeng River and is a collective term for the Yunxin Waterfall and Sen Mountain Waterfall. Some people also refer to Yunxin, Sen Mountain, and the Sister Waterfall collectively as the "Yun Sen Three Waterfalls." The trail is mostly a gently winding path with lush green forests on both sides, leading through clear streams, gorge bridges, and aluminum ladders, providing a thrilling yet safe adventure with plenty of fun along the way. Shortly after crossing the stream, you can see the Yunxin Waterfall, which is about ten meters high and has a two-layer curtain-like appearance, surrounded by giant blue maples. From late December to early January, there is a chance to enjoy the stunning view of colorful maple leaves complementing the beautiful waterfall. There is a steeper trail on the left leading to the cliff top of Yunxin Waterfall and the slender Sen Mountain Waterfall, but the view and space are relatively limited, preventing close proximity. The beauty of Yun Sen Waterfall has attracted numerous photographers and television commercials, resulting in increased visitors for waterfall viewing, maple appreciation, hiking, stream climbing, and water play. Due to the narrow roads and limited parking in the mountainous area, it is advisable to avoid weekends or set out early. You can also hike nearby intermediate peaks (such as Zhu Lu Mountain, Ka Bo Mountain, Le Pei Mountain, Combination Mountain, and Full Moon Round Mountain) or the Charcoal Ancient Trail, or visit the "Full Moon Round Forest Recreation Area" or Sanxia Old Street to enjoy a serene forest SPA journey.
