Looking down, you can overlook the Luozi Creek valley and listen to the gentle sound of rushing water flowing over the boulders. The Luoshan Waterfall Trail is a circular trail that takes about 20 to 30 minutes to complete. Handrails are available throughout the route, providing support for hikers while they walk, and there are spots to pause and appreciate the broadleaf forest made up of plants like blood wood, mountain taro, and giant lily.

The Luoshan Waterfall, hanging in the valley, is a waterfall located upstream of the Yan Cheng Creek, a tributary of the Luozi Creek, near the fault line of the Coastal Mountain Range. It is a fault waterfall formed by tectonic movement, with two tiers: the upper tier has a drop of 100 meters and the lower tier has a drop of 20 meters, totaling a height of 120 meters. You can admire the graceful figure of Luoshan Waterfall from the observation platform on the trail or the parking lot, or you can walk onto the arch bridge and closely observe the rushing water of Luozi Creek to the east, while to the west, you can admire the Hualien-Taitung Valley plain and the Central Mountain Range, capturing the serene pastoral scenery of Luoshan Organic Village. Nearby the Luoshan Waterfall, there are also attractions like the Mud Volcano and Luoshan Big Fish Pond, which you can visit after the waterfall, exploring the wonders of the mud volcano and tasting handmade tofu made from mud volcano broth, as well as learning about the aquatic plants and animals at the Big Fish Pond, feeling the unique tranquility of Luoshan.
