Fangding Waterfall

Fangding Waterfall is a waterfall near Taipei that cascades down a series of rock ledges, creating a multi-tiered water display in the northern mountains. The surrounding peaks and forested slopes form a natural frame around the falling water.

Early Taiwanese explorers documented this waterfall during their journeys through the northern regions, noting its presence in local maps and travel records. The site has remained largely unchanged since those initial observations.

Local residents traditionally visit the waterfall during summer festivals, incorporating its waters into their seasonal celebrations and gatherings.

Wear water-resistant shoes or waterproof footwear to navigate the wet rocky areas safely around the base and observation points. Arrive early in the day when sunlight is best for seeing the waterfall and taking photos from the viewpoints.

The waterfall flows consistently throughout the year because it sits in a natural watershed that collects rainwater from the surrounding peaks. This steady water supply means you can see it in full flow even during drier months.
