Baiyu Waterfall, Natural waterfall in Beinan, Taiwan.
Description
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.
History
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.
Culture
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.
Practical
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.
