Penglai Waterfall, Natural waterfall in Gukeng Township, Yunlin County, Taiwan.

The Penglai Waterfall extends 200 meters in height, with water cascading down the rocky cliffs of Shibi Valley within the Jhugao River basin.

The waterfall previously featured a cable car system for viewing access until its destruction during the devastating 921 earthquake in 1999.

Local residents gather at the waterfall during traditional festivals, making it a central point for community celebrations and outdoor activities.

Visitors can reach the waterfall through multiple hiking trails, with designated viewing platforms providing different perspectives of the water flow.

The waterfall's location at 1,200 meters above sea level creates distinct seasonal patterns in water volume and mist formation throughout the year.
