Longgong Waterfall

Chiayi Attractions

龍宮瀑布

Longgong Waterfall, located in Ruifeng Village, Meishan Township, Chiayi County, is the most breathtaking highlight of the Zhukeng Stream Trail. This悬壁型 waterfall has a drop of about 120 meters, with water cascading down steep cliffs, creating a momentum akin to a white silk ribbon. What astonishes travelers most is the naturally formed basin rock wall at the bottom of the waterfall, where the trail cuts across the rock crevice, allowing for an up-close visual shock of the rushing waterfall. The "Zhukeng Stream Trail," where the waterfall is located, is approximately 3.3 kilometers long and was once the "Salt Trail" for Han Chinese to enter the mountains for collecting and transporting essential goods. The trail features rich natural landscapes, with several suspension bridges connecting the pristine forest and layered valleys as the terrain fluctuates. Walking along the trail, one can not only breathe in abundant negative ions and phytoncides but also experience the magnificent folded landscape left by geological changes. Currently, the trail is open from the west entrance to Bridges 8 and 9, allowing access to Longgong Waterfall.
