Renjhihguan

Renjhihguan is a canyon with limestone walls shaped by flowing water over time, featuring steep vertical cliffs and natural stepped terraces throughout its length. The site shows multiple layers of rock formations along the valley floor where streams continue to flow.

This site held strategic importance for communities living in the region across different periods of Taiwan's past. It was occupied and used by indigenous groups before later colonial influence reached the area.

Indigenous communities hold traditional ceremonies in this area, weaving seasonal changes and natural elements into their practices. These gatherings remain an active part of how local people connect with the landscape.

The canyon can be reached through marked trails starting from Ren'ai Township, best visited during daylight hours. Wear sturdy footwear as paths can be slippery, especially after rain or near water.

Water flows through underground passages beneath the canyon and re-emerges at different locations, creating multiple small waterfalls scattered throughout the site. This hidden water system shapes how the canyon appears from above and below ground.
