Galloping Waterfall
Aowanda Waterfall
Aowanda might be best known for the impressive suspension logging bridge but it also has waterfalls, maple trees, cherry blossoms and cooler summer temperatures. Great times to visit are in the spring when the cherry blossoms bloom and in late December when the maple trees turn red.
The hike: Pick up a map at the visitor center. The hike is about 1 km heading back to the main gate. You will go past an old holding pond on a clearly marked trail. The viewing platforms to Double waterfall and Galloping waterfall are on the left.
How to get there: From the 3 freeway take the 6 freeway 40 kms to highway 14. Turn left on highway 14 and after you climb the hill into Renai turn right on Daan road. Daan road follows the reservoir and it is best to drive cautiously. The road continues straight but Daan road turns off to the left at a large red sign with Aowanda on it. Follow this road until the end to reach Aowanda.
Other info: Park entrance fee: 200/car and 100/person

Taiwan's Waterfalls 
Didn’t manage to get here the other day, bit too far unfortunately. Will try to explore next time – did you spend much time at the actual park exploring? Or just waterfall gazing? 🙂
It is a 3-4 hour hike down to this really high and long suspension bridge. The waterfalls are something to see when you go but the bridge and the trees are the reason to go there. The maples are supposed to turn red in December and is supposed to be the best time to go.
Ah righteo. Thanks for that! Will keep that in mind 🙂
