Luoshui Waterfall Introduction
Fun Guide - In less than 15 minutes on the trail, you can see the waterfall. The newly renovated wooden plank trail is easy to walk and suitable for short walks. You can fully absorb the forest's phytoncides and enjoy the Luoshan Waterfall in the depths of the Luoshan Recreation Area. Nearby, there are parking lots, shops, and restrooms. Originally, it was a trail where you could only hear the sounds of the waterfall but not see it. The newly renovated wooden plank trail is built along the mountain slopes, with viewing platforms set up beside the river valley, allowing visitors to gaze up and take in the beautiful sight of the Luoshan Waterfall, which looks like a silver chain hanging between the lush mountains. Looking down, you can overlook the Louzai Creek valley and listen to the gentle sound of rushing water flowing over giant boulders. The Luoshan Waterfall trail is a circular path that takes about 20 to 30 minutes to complete. It is equipped with handrails throughout, providing support for hikers while walking, and offering places to pause and enjoy the surrounding broadleaf forest comprised of plants such as Chinese parasol trees, mountain sweet potatoes, and taro. The waterfall, which hangs between the mountains, belongs to the upstream of the Louzai Creek tributary - Yancheng Creek. It is located near the fault line of the Coastal Mountain Range and is a fault waterfall formed by orogenic movements. The waterfall has two tiers, with the upper tier dropping 100 meters and the lower tier dropping 20 meters, totaling a drop of 120 meters. You can view the graceful姿態 of the Luoshan Waterfall from the trail's viewing platform or parking lot, or walk up to the arch bridge for a closer look at the rushing waters of Louzai Creek to the east, while to the west, you can gaze out at the Hualien-Taitung Valley Plain and the Central Mountain Range, taking in the rustic pastoral scenery of Luoshan Organic Village. Nearby the Luoshan Waterfall, there are also attractions like the Mud Volcano and Luoshan Big Fish Pond, which can be visited after seeing the waterfall. You can explore the wonders of the mud volcano, taste handmade tofu made from the mud volcano's broth, learn about the aquatic flora and fauna of the Big Fish Pond, and experience the unique and tranquil moments of Luoshan.
