Yuntan Trail - Yuntan Waterfall Introduction
Located at the 71-kilometer mark of County Road 166, this is a trail that requires a round trip along the same path. There is a fork near the entrance leading to the Shuishaliao Station. From behind the building, you descend along a stone path and stone steps, entering a dense bamboo forest. The trail features several zigzagging turns along the hillside, with steep stone steps leading down rapidly. Due to the abundant moisture in the deep valley, the steps can sometimes be slippery, so it is important to tread carefully. Along the way, there are remnants of an old paper-making pond; with keen observation, you can still see the outlines of the pond's edges and imagine early inhabitants soaking split Guizhu or Mazhu into lime water, waiting for fermentation before pulling it up to be pressed into pulp. Continuing down, there is a pavilion where you can take a break while listening to the gurgling water, indicating that you are not far from the riverbank. At the end of the trail, you will reach a viewing platform overlooking the tiered Yuntan Waterfall, which hangs high over the rocky cliff. The waterfall has two tiers and features a "pool" formed by unique geological layering and arrangement. When water cascades down through the rock seams, it appears like flowing white silk; the Yuntan Waterfall is renowned as the most beautiful sight in Renshou.
