Yun Sen Waterfall Introduction
Yunson Waterfall, located in the Xiong Kong area of Sanxia District, New Taipei City, is the collective name for the Yunxin Waterfall and the Sen Mountain Waterfall, which are both situated upstream along the Zhongkeng River. Some people also refer to Yunxin, Sen Mountain, and the Sisters Waterfall collectively as the "Three Yunson Waterfalls." The path to the waterfalls is mostly a gentle mountain trail, flanked by lush green forests, where hikers will cross clear streams, gorge wooden bridges, and aluminum ladders, making the journey surprising yet safe, and adding much fun to the adventure. Shortly after crossing the stream, visitors can catch a glimpse of the approximately ten-meter-high, double-layered curtain-like Yunxin Waterfall. Nearby, there are massive green maples, providing a chance to enjoy layers of red maple leaves set against the beautiful waterfall scenery from late December to early January. A steeper trail on the left leads to the cliff top of Yunxin Waterfall and the slender Sen Mountain Waterfall, but the view and space are limited, making it less accessible. The beauty of Yunson Waterfall attracts many photographers and commercial advertisements, which has resulted in increased crowds for viewing waterfalls, admiring maple leaves, hiking, river tracing, and water play. Due to small mountain roads and limited parking, it is advisable to avoid weekends or set out early. Visitors can also trek nearby intermediate mountains (such as Zhu Lu Mountain, Ka Po Mountain, Le Pei Mountain, Combination Mountain, and Full Moon Round Mountain) or the Charcoal Ancient Trail, or head to the "Full Moon Round Forest Recreation Area" or Sanxia Old Street to enjoy a rejuvenating forest spa experience.
