Jiaolong Waterfall Introduction
The majestic Jiaolong Waterfall, also known as "The Falls of Taiwan," is a waterfall formed by a fault, located on the Ta Shan Wei cliff on the southeastern side of Fengshan. Its water source is the tributary Jiaolong Stream flowing from the upper reaches of the Qing Shui River. It was marked as "Daitaki," meaning "Great Falls," on hand-drawn maps from the Japanese occupation period. The Jiaolong Waterfall hangs from a cliff that is 1,600 meters high, with a drop of 846 meters. When the water flow is abundant, the waterfall can be seen cascading in two tiers, resembling a giant white dragon. This impressive display of nature's power is a sight to behold, resembling a traditional Chinese landscape painting from afar, and it is a limited-time beauty after heavy rains, greatly favored by tourists and photographers. When the water level is low, a large portion of the cliff face can be seen, and the water falls in four tiers into the valley. Therefore, it is recommended for travelers who wish to glimpse the grandeur of Jiaolong Waterfall to visit during the rainy season.
