Loshan Waterfall
Impressive waterfall with a several hundred foot vertical drop. For best viewing, come during the Taiwan rainy season. (April to July)
For the best view of this waterfall, you have to hike up a little ways: Head up along the wooden staircases to the designated viewing platform. Continue from there on a dirt path towards the waterfall. After 100 meters you will find the new wooden stairway, which is now under construction. Follow this to the end, and then continue up along the side of the stream over some large boulders for about another 100 meters. When you reach the falls, you will find that it actually has two tiers. (The upper part is the more impressive.)
We able to complete this hike, however, there was one casuality: With one mis-step Joe's digital camera unfortunately fell to it's watery grave. (Fortunately Joe, and the rest of the party was unhurt) |
