Fairy Valley Introduction
Shenxian Valley, located in Nanzhuang, Miaoli, is a canyon formed by the confluence of Luhu Creek, Luchang Creek, and Fengmei Creek, featuring a magnificent canyon landscape and impressive waterfalls. After rainfall, mist swirls around the waterfalls, creating an otherworldly atmosphere, which is why it is famously called "Shenxian Valley." The waterfalls and suspension bridge in Shenxian Valley are sacred to the Atayal people and were once referred to as the Valley of Death, as it was a burial site for ancestors near the Luchang tribe. It had been long closed to the public until the management of the Shanmei National Scenic Area restored it. Now, wooden boardwalks and suspension bridges adorned with indigenous totems have been created within the valley to allow visitors to admire the views more safely. Standing on the suspension bridge provides a panoramic view of Shenxian Valley, showcasing the giant boulders in the canyon, the stunning cliffs, and the impressive waterfalls that exemplify nature's artistry. This breathtaking scenery has also caught the attention of director Wei Der-sheng, making it one of the filming locations for the movie "Seediq Bale." Near the entrance of the walking trail, the Qifen Zui Restaurant offers another option to closely admire the beautiful waterfall scenery. The restaurant, with decor and dishes reflecting tribal culture, allows visitors to walk down stairs to get a closer look at the majestic waterfall views of Shenxian Valley.
