Baiyu Waterfall, Natural waterfall in Beinan, Taiwan.
Baiyu Waterfall is formed by two cascading sections spanning approximately 50 meters in total height. The smaller adjacent fall drops at a steeper angle but carries less water, while the main cascade maintains a steady flow throughout the descent.
Japanese explorers discovered this waterfall during Taiwan's colonial period and initially called it Shirogoku. The site later received its current name, which has remained in use ever since.
Local indigenous communities view this waterfall as a meaningful place connected to their heritage through oral traditions and ceremonial practices. Visitors who spend time here can sense this cultural bond through the way the community values and respects the surrounding landscape.
Access to the waterfall is via improved walking paths from the designated parking area, with the clearest views during morning hours. Bring sturdy footwear and allow time to walk unhurried through the wooded surroundings to fully appreciate the setting.
Water volume changes notably between seasons, producing different visual effects throughout the year. During wet months the cascade appears more powerful, while in drier periods it becomes more delicate and subtle.
