Jialeshuei

　　Jialeshuei is located in Manzhou Township, Pingtung County, Taiwan, and is a well-known attraction within Kenting National Park. Originally named Jialuoshui, which means “waterfall” in the Hokkien dialect. In 1975, then-Premier Chiang Ching-kuo visited the area and renamed it “Jialeshuei,” drawing from the expression “peace and prosperity.” He also gave the name “Mountain-Sea Waterfall” to a previously unnamed waterfall. After being named by a prominent figure, this scenic mountain and seascape became widely known, leading to a surge in visitor numbers.

　　Jialeshuei borders the vast Pacific Ocean, where sandstone and coral reefs, eroded over time by strong winds and waves, have been sculpted into a variety of uniquely shaped rock formations—such as Turtle Rock, Rabbit Rock, Ball Rock, Checkerboard Rock, and Honeycomb Rock—stretching across two and a half kilometers of coastline, inspiring awe at the power of nature. Additionally, the area boasts rich flora and fauna. Colorful schools of fish such as damselfish, lobsters, abalones, limpets, and mudskippers can be seen thriving among the crevices of coastal rocks and in shallow pools. Moreover, the area is influenced by the Kuroshio Current, bringing fast currents and high waves, which attract a variety of large migratory fish—making it an ideal spot for deep-sea fishing.
