Introduction

Yunsen Waterfall is actually a portmanteau of the “Yunxin” (Cloud Heart) and “Shenshan” (Forest Mountain) waterfalls. The “Sisters Waterfall” is also included by some people to make up the “Three Falls of Yunsen.” All three waterfalls are located on the upper reaches of the Zhongkeng River. The Zhongkeng River is a tributary of Dabao River. The Dabao River flows into Sanxia River, which in turn joins the Dahan River before becoming Tamsui River. The waterfalls have a plentiful supply of water that cascades from the top of the rocks to form two curtains. The forest greenery makes the waterfall look even more delightful. Visitors can make their way to the bottom of the falls then look up for an even more awe-inspiring view.

How to Get There

Choose a transportation method based on your departure location.

Taishan Doll Industry Museum

Manufacturing of Barbie dolls at Taishan’s Meining Workshop made the district known as “Barbie’s hometown.” The production lines are gone, but Meining’s past lives on at this tourism factory.

Wulai Old Street

Wulai is famous for springs and the hill cherry blossoms. As Atayal is the dominant local ethnic group, there are Atayal cultural tokens everywhere in Wulai. Most shops in Wulai Old Street have a strong “indigenous flavor”. Visitors can taste a wide variety of mountain foods in indigenous flavors, such as the charcoal grilled wild boar pork, spring cooked eggs, shell-flower leaf dumplings, rice cooked in bamboo tubes, and dishes made with aromatic litsea. They are rare “Taiwan indigenous specialty foods”. There are also the specialties like the millet wine and millet mochi that are great as souvenirs for friends.
