Yunshen Waterfall Introduction
Yun Sen Waterfall, located in the Xiangkung area of Sanxia District in New Taipei City, is situated upstream on the Zhongkeng River. It refers to a combination of Yunxin and Sen Mountain Waterfalls, and some also include the Sister Waterfall, collectively known as the "Yun Sen Three Waterfalls." Along the way, there are mostly gentle mountain paths flanked by lush forests, and you will cross clear streams, wooden bridges in valleys, and aluminum ladders, which provide both adventure and fun without danger. Shortly after crossing the stream, you can see Yunxin Waterfall, which is about ten meters high and features a double-layer curtain style. Nearby, gigantic green maples grow, and there is a chance to enjoy the beautiful scenery of layered red maples against the stunning waterfall from late December to early January each year. On the left side, a steeper path leads to the cliff top of Yunxin Waterfall and the narrow waterfall stream of Sen Mountain, but the views and area are quite limited, making it hard to get close. The beauty of Yun Sen Waterfall attracts many photographers and television advertisements for scenic shoots, which brings more visitors for waterfall viewing, maple appreciation, mountain climbing, stream tracing, and water play. Due to the narrow mountain roads and limited parking, it is recommended to avoid weekends or start early. You can also hike nearby intermediate mountains (such as Zhu Lu Mountain, Ka Bao Mountain, Le Pei Mountain, Combination Mountain, and Full Moon Round Mountain) or the Charcoal Ancient Road. Alternative options include visiting the "Full Moon Round Forest Recreation Area" or Sanxia Old Street to enjoy a deep forest SPA journey.
