Luoshan Waterfall Introduction
Play Guide - Within 15 minutes of walking on the trail, you can see the waterfall. The newly renovated wooden path is easy to walk and suitable for short walks. You can fully absorb the phytoncides of the forest and enjoy the beauty of the Luoshan Waterfall, located deep in the Luoshan Recreation Area. There is a parking lot, shops, and restrooms nearby. Originally, it was a trail where you could only hear the waterfall but not see it. The fully renovated wooden path is built along the mountain and features a viewing platform beside the valley, allowing visitors to gaze up and admire the Luoshan Waterfall, which appears like a silver chain hanging amidst the lush mountains; looking down, you can overlook the Luozi Creek valley and listen to the sound of rushing water flowing over the boulders. The Luoshan Waterfall Trail is a circular route that takes about 20 to 30 minutes to complete. There are handrails along the entire route, providing support for hikers to walk and take a break to appreciate the broadleaf forest composed of plants such as blood trees, mountain taro, and other flora, while experiencing the healing power of nature. The Luoshan Waterfall, suspended in the valley, is located on the upstream of the Yancheng 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, and it has two layers. The upper drop is 100 meters and the lower drop is 20 meters, with a total drop of 120 meters. You can admire the elegant form of the Luoshan Waterfall from the trail's viewing platform or parking lot, or walk onto the arch bridge to observe the rushing water of Luozi Creek up close to the east while enjoying the view of the Hualien-Taitung Valley and the Central Mountain Range to the west, taking in the pastoral scenery of the Luoshan Organic Village. There are also attractions nearby, such as mud volcanoes and the Luoshan Big Fish Pond, which can be visited after the waterfall, allowing you to explore the wonders of the mud volcanoes, taste handmade tofu made with mud volcano broth, learn about the aquatic plants and animals in the Big Fish Pond, and experience the unique tranquility and serenity of Luoshan.
