Yun Tan Trail - Yun Tan Waterfall Introduction
Located at the 71-kilometer mark of County Road 166, this is a trail that requires a round trip on the same path. There is a fork in the road leading to Shuishalian Station next to the entrance. From the back of the building, you descend along a stone path and stone steps, entering a dense bamboo forest. Subsequently, the trail features several zigzag turns along the slope and steep stone steps that descend quickly. Due to the abundant moisture in the deep valley, some sections of the steps may be damp, so it is essential to watch your footing. Along the way, there is a remnant of an old paper-making pool; with careful observation, you can still see the outlines at the edge of the pool and imagine the early ancestors soaking split bamboo or hemp bamboo in lime water to ferment and then extracting it to form pulp. Continuing down, there is a pavilion for a short rest, where the sound of flowing water indicates that you are not far from the riverbank. Upon reaching the viewing platform at the end of the trail, you will find the tiered Yuntan Waterfall high above on the cliff. The waterfall has two levels, and below it lies a "water pool" formed due to unique geological structures and arrangements. As the water cascades down from the crevices in the rocks, it resembles flowing white silk, earning Yuntan Waterfall the title of the most beautiful scenery in Renshou. Friendly facilities: Accessible restroom (next to the parking lot) Restroom hours: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM
