Yuntan Trail - Yuntan Waterfall Introduction
Located at the 71-kilometer mark of County Road 166, this is a trail that requires a round trip back along the same route, with a fork leading to Shuishaliao Station near the entrance. From behind the building, follow the stone path and stone steps down into a dense bamboo forest. After that, with several zigzag turns across the slope and steep stone steps, you will descend quickly. 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 is a remnant of an old paper-making pool; with careful observation, the outline of the pool's edge can still be seen, allowing one to imagine how early ancestors split the giant or hemp bamboo and soaked it in lime water, then retrieved it to press into pulp. Continuing downward, there is a pavilion where you can rest and listen to the sound of flowing water, indicating that you are not far from the riverbank. At the trail's end is a viewing platform with the cascading Yuntan Waterfall, which hangs high on the rock cliff. The waterfall has two tiers, and below it is a unique "water basin" formed by the geological layering and arrangement of rock. When the basin's water cascades through the crevices in the stones, it appears like flowing white silk, and Yuntan Waterfall is known as the most beautiful scenery in Renshou. Friendly facilities: Accessible restroom (next to parking lot) Restroom hours: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM
