Maolin Valley / Lomus Creek Trail Introduction

Maolin Valley Waterfall is located at the end of the Lumusu Creek Trail in the Maolin District. The entrance to the Lumusu Creek Trail is about 0.8 kilometers from the Lumusu Bridge, where you'll turn right following the signs. "Lumusu" in Rukai language means "beautiful valley," and it's a tributary of the Zhuokou River. As the trail winds with the mountain terrain, visitors can enjoy the canyon scenery, lush green forests, and butterflies fluttering all around, accompanied by the soothing sound of the stream, creating a refreshing atmosphere. The total length of the trail is 4 kilometers, but currently, only 1.2 kilometers is open. After passing through a series of bamboo forest tunnels, you'll reach the Maolin Valley Waterfall, which is majestic and impressive; witnessing such beauty makes it worthwhile to forget your troubles. It is recommended to spend about 1.5 hours there, and please be cautious of mosquitoes and insects along the way.
