Luoshui Waterfall Introduction
Play Strategy - You can see the waterfall within 15 minutes of walking on the trail. The newly renovated wooden plank trail is easy to walk on and suitable for short strolls. You can enjoy the forest's fresh air and appreciate the Luoshan Waterfall, which is located deep in the Luoshan Recreation Area. There are parking lots, businesses, and restrooms nearby. This trail, which used to let visitors hear the waterfall without seeing it, has been completely renovated. The wooden plank path is built along the mountain slopes, with viewing platforms next to the stream allowing visitors to gaze up at the Luoshan Waterfall, which looks like a silver chain hanging gracefully between the lush mountains. Looking down, you 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 trail that takes about 20 to 30 minutes to complete. Handrails are installed along the entire route, providing support for hikers, allowing them to walk while enjoying the scenery. You can stop to admire the broadleaf forest composed of blood wax wood, mountain taro, and giant taro plants, experiencing the healing power of nature. The Luoshan Waterfall, hanging between the valleys, is located on the upstream section of the Yan Cheng Creek, a tributary of the Luozai Creek, and is near the coastline mountain range fault line. It is a fault waterfall formed by tectonic activity with two tiers: the upper drop is 100 meters and the lower drop is 20 meters, totaling a vertical drop of 120 meters. At the viewing platform along the trail or from the parking lot, you can admire the elegant form of the Luoshan Waterfall or walk to the arch bridge for a close-up view of the rushing waters of Luozai Creek to the east, and a distant view of the Hualien-Taitung Valley plain and Central Mountain Range to the west, taking in the rustic pastoral scenery of the Luoshan Organic Village. Nearby the Luoshan Waterfall, there are attractions like the mud volcano and the Luoshan Big Fish Pond. After visiting the waterfall, you can explore these attractions, witness the wonders of the mud volcano, taste handmade tofu made with mud volcano brine, learn about the aquatic flora and fauna of the Big Fish Pond, and experience the unique tranquility and serenity of Luoshan.
