Aohua Waterfall
This waterfall is on the East Coast between Hualien and Suau near the aboriginal village of Aohua.
Access to the waterfall is not so easy, since a Class B permit is required, the access road is pretty rough (4WD recommended), and there are few signs to guide you.
But, it is worth the trip, as this is one of the best waterfalls that I have seen so far in Taiwan.
There are two tiers to the waterfall. The upper tier is best viewed from a dirt path that heads uphill from about the half way point of the main path. For the best view of the lower tier, take the main path all the way to the end, and climb over the rocks to the pool at the base of the waterfall.
Besides being a very scenic place, this looks like a great place to come cool off on a hot summer day. (To be filed for a later date...) |
