Crocodile Dragon Waterfall Introduction
The majestic Jiao Long Waterfall, also known as the "Cascade of Taiwan," is a waterfall formed by tectonic activity, located on the cliff face of Ta Shan Wei Ridge in the southeastern part of Fengshan. Its water source is the upstream tributary Jiao Long Creek of the Qing Shui Creek. It was marked as "Dai Ryu" on a hand-drawn map from the Japanese colonial period, which means "great waterfall" in Japanese. The Jiao Long Waterfall hangs from a cliff that is 1,600 meters high, with a drop of 846 meters. When the water volume is abundant, the waterfall cascades down in two tiers, resembling a giant white dragon, showcasing the power of nature. From a distance, it looks like a landscape painting; it can be considered a limited-edition beauty after heavy rainfall, making it popular among tourists and photographers. When the water flow is low, a large expanse of the cliff face becomes visible, and the water falls in four tiers straight into the valley. Therefore, it is recommended for travelers who wish to glimpse the magnificent Jiao Long Waterfall to visit during the rainy season.
