Luoshui Waterfall Introduction
Playful Guide - The wooden plank trail has been renovated, allowing visitors to see the waterfall in less than 15 minutes. It is easy to walk on and suitable for a short stroll. You can deeply inhale the phytoncides of the forest while appreciating the Luozan Waterfall, which is located deep in the Luozan Recreation Area. Nearby, there are parking lots, shops, and restrooms. Originally, it was a trail where you could only hear the sound of the waterfall but not see it. After renovation, the wooden plank trail is built along the mountain slope, with viewing platforms set up by the river valley that allow visitors to gaze up and enjoy the beautiful view of Luozan Waterfall, resembling a silver chain hanging between lush mountains. Looking down, one can overlook the Luozai Creek valley and listen to the sound of rushing water flowing over the boulders. The Luozan Waterfall trail is a loop trail that takes about 20 to 30 minutes to complete. There are handrails along the entire route, providing support for hikers, allowing them to walk while having a support point to stop and appreciate the broadleaf forest composed of plants like blood peach, mountain taro, and elephant ear. The waterfall, hanging in the valley, belongs to the upstream of the Luozai Creek tributary - Yancheng Creek, and is located near the fault line of the Central Mountain Range, formed by orogeny. The waterfall consists of two tiers, with a height difference of 100 meters for the upper tier and 20 meters for the lower tier, totaling a height drop of 120 meters. Visitors can gaze at the graceful posture of Luozan Waterfall from the viewing platform or parking lot or walk onto the arch bridge to see the rushing waters of Luozai Creek up close to the east, while enjoying a distant view of the Hualien-Taitung Valley Plain and the Central Mountain Range to the west, capturing the pastoral scenery of the Luozan Organic Village. Additionally, near Luozan Waterfall, there are attractions like the mud volcano and Luozan Big Fish Pond, which can also be visited after seeing the waterfall. You can explore the wonders of the mud volcano, taste handmade tofu made from the mud volcano brine, and get to know the aquatic life in the Big Fish Pond, all while experiencing the unique serenity and tranquility of Luozan.
