Qingshan Waterfall Trail Introduction
Qingshan Waterfall is located upstream of Laomei Creek at Jian Mountain Lake, formerly known as Jian Mountain Lake Waterfall. The towering Bamboo Mountain collects abundant water from the mountains, and the water flows through a gorge with a significant height difference, forming the Qingshan Waterfall within the Shimen Mountain Forest. As you ascend the trail, you will be accompanied by Qingshan and Laomei Creek, surrounded by lush trees and the sounds of insects and birds. Even in the height of summer, you won't have to endure the scorching sun. To visit the picturesque Qingshan Waterfall, you must climb along the Kan Diliu Ditch, originally constructed for irrigating terraced fields. Following the sound of flowing water, you can leisurely stroll along the trail. Looking around, alongside Qingshan and Laomei Creek, the five-awned grass sways in the wind, and various uniquely shaped trees grow on either side. Occasionally, you can glance back at the coastline, watching the hills rise and fall from the mountains, with terraced fields spread out everywhere, enjoying the pleasure of ascending for scenic views. Upon reaching Shimen, in addition to traversing the coastline to witness the marvelous changes of nature, you might consider driving into the mountains to embark on a tranquil journey along the Qingshan Waterfall Trail, enjoying the comfort and ease of being away from the hustle and bustle.
