Exploring Taoyuan’s best-kept secret in Yieheng

The main path, hewn into the side of the gorge, keeps well above the stream, descending to rejoin it after a couple of hundred meters at the second waterfall, known as the Water Curtain Cave (水濂洞). Apparently there really is a small cave behind this impressively wide sheet of falling water, although you’ll need to wade upstream to get there, as there’s no path to the foot of the falls.

Back at the junction below the Ghost Falls, a dirt trail drops down to the rock-strewn bed of the Dahan River, where fragments of trail follow the Taiyao Stream up towards the base of the waterfall. The trails peters out well below the falls, which remain unseen round a corner of the gorge, but when the stream is low it’s possible to paddle up the smooth, rocky channel as it winds through a strange “S”-shaped cleft to the foot of the impressive, 30-meter-high waterfall.
