正面觀看蛟龍瀑布

The majestic and towering Jiao Long Waterfall, also known as "Taiwan's Niagara," is a waterfall formed by fault lines, located on the cliffs of Ta Shan Wei Ridge to the southeast of Feng Shan. Its water source is the tributary Jiao Long Creek from the upper reaches of the Qing Shui River. In a hand-drawn map from the Japanese colonial period, it was marked as "Da Long," which means "Great Waterfall" in Japanese. The Jiao Long Waterfall hangs over a sheer cliff that reaches up to 1,600 meters, with a drop of 846 meters. When water flow is abundant, the waterfall cascades in two tiers, resembling a giant white dragon. The overwhelming force of the water allows one to experience the power of nature, and from a distance, it appears like a traditional landscape painting. It can be considered a limited-edition beautiful scene after heavy rain, earning the admiration of tourists and photographers alike. When the water flow is low, a large expanse of the cliff can be seen, with the water cascading in four tiers straight into the valley. Therefore, it is recommended that travelers who wish to witness the magnificent Jiao Long Waterfall visit during the rainy season.
