Luoshan Waterfall Introduction
Play Guide - You can see the waterfall in less than 15 minutes on the walking path. The renovated wooden boardwalk is easy to walk and suitable for short strolls, allowing you to fully absorb the phytoncides of the forest while enjoying the lush scenery of Luoshan Waterfall located deep within the Luoshan Recreation Area. There are parking lots, shops, and restrooms nearby. Originally, the waterfall could only be heard and not seen from the walking path, but the newly renovated wooden boardwalk is built along the mountainside, with viewing platforms beside the creek to let visitors gaze at the Luoshan Waterfall, resembling a silver chain hanging gracefully amid lush mountains. Looking down, one can overlook the Luozai Creek valley and listen to the sound of rushing water flowing over the boulders. The Luoshan Waterfall Trail is a circular path that takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes to complete. Handrails are available along the entire route, providing support for hikers who can walk while using them as they take a moment to appreciate the broadleaf forest consisting of blood trees, mountain ferns, and taro plants surrounding them, feeling the healing power of nature. The Luoshan Waterfall, suspended between the valleys, belongs to the upstream of the Luozai Creek tributary - Yancheng Creek, located near the fault line of the Central Mountain Range. It is a fault waterfall formed by orogenic movements. The waterfall has two levels, with a vertical drop of 100 meters for the upper tier and 20 meters for the lower tier, totaling a drop of 120 meters. The graceful figure of the Luoshan Waterfall can be viewed from the trail’s viewing platform or parking area, or by walking up the arch bridge, where you can closely observe the rushing waters of Luozai Creek to the east and enjoy the distant view of the Huatung Valley Plain and Central Mountain Range to the west, taking in the rustic landscape of the Luoshan Organic Village. Nearby the Luoshan Waterfall, you can also visit attractions such as the Mud Volcano and Luoshan Fish Pond, allowing visitors to explore the wonders of the mud volcano after visiting the waterfall, taste handmade tofu made with mud volcano brine, and learn about the aquatic flora and fauna in the fish pond, experiencing the unique tranquility and serenity of Luoshan.
