Yun Sen Waterfall Introduction
Yun Sen Waterfall, located in the Xiong Kong area of Sanxia District, New Taipei City, is a collective term for the Yunxin and Sen Mountain waterfalls, and sometimes it is referred to as the "Three Waterfalls of Yun Sen," which includes the Yunxin, Sen Mountain, and Sister Waterfalls. The trail is mostly a gentle mountain path, bordered by lush forests, and it crosses clear streams, wooden bridges, and aluminum ladders, adding a sense of adventure without danger. After crossing the stream, you can soon see the Yunxin Waterfall, which is about ten meters high and features a two-layered curtain-like appearance. Nearby, large green maples grow, and there is a chance to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the layered red maple leaves against the stunning waterfall from late December to early January each year. On the left side, a steeper trail leads to the cliff top of Yunxin Waterfall and the narrow Sen Mountain Waterfall, but the view and area are smaller and not easily accessible. The beauty of Yun Sen Waterfall has attracted many photographers and television commercials for filming, leading to an increase in visitors for waterfall viewing, maple appreciation, mountain climbing, stream tracing, and water play. Due to the narrow mountain roads and difficulty in parking, it is recommended to avoid weekends or start early. You can also hike nearby intermediate mountains (such as Zhulu Mountain, Kabo Mountain, Lepei Mountain, Zuhé Mountain, and Manyuanyuan Mountain) or the Charcoal Ancient Trail, or visit the "Manyuan Forest Recreation Area" or Sanxia Old Street to enjoy a forest SPA journey deep in the clouds.
