Qingshan Waterfall Trail Introduction
Qingshan Waterfall is located at the upper reaches of Laomei Creek near Jian Lake, formerly known as Jian Lake Waterfall. The towering Zhuzi Mountain gathers ample water from the mountains, and the water flows through a gorge with significant elevation changes, forming Qingshan Waterfall in the Shimen Mountain Forest. As you gradually ascend along the trail, you are accompanied by Qingshan and Laomei Creek, surrounded by shady trees and the sounds of chirping insects and birds. Even in the heat of summer, you won't have to endure the harsh sun. To visit the picturesque Qingshan Waterfall, one must climb up along the irrigation ditch built for terraced farming, known as Kan Di Liao Ditch. Following the sound of flowing water, you can leisurely walk along the trail. Looking around, you will be accompanied by Qingshan and Laomei Creek, with the graceful sway of common reed in the wind, and various uniquely shaped trees on either side. Occasionally, you can glance back at the coastline and see the rolling hills rise from the mountains, with terraced fields spread out, enjoying the pleasure of high-altitude sightseeing. When you arrive at Shimen, in addition to following the coastline to witness the magical changes created by nature, you might as well drive into the mountains to embark on a tranquil forest journey along the Qingshan Waterfall trail, enjoying comfort and ease away from the hustle and bustle.
