Description
Nan'an Waterfall is a 50-meter-high cascade located within Yushan National Park, where water plunges into clear pools surrounded by thick forest. The stream forms several smaller basins as it flows downward through the rocky terrain.

Practical
The waterfall can be reached by a short walk from the parking area along route PH30, just before the Zhuo'an Bridge. The road is narrow and conditions can change with weather, so checking accessibility before visiting is helpful.
