Sandie Waterfall

　　Sandie Waterfall is located within the Taiping Mountain Forest Recreation Area in Datong Township, Yilan County, Taiwan. Visitors can take the park’s bumper car to the forest area below Maosing Station, then hike down the valley for about 2.7 kilometers to reach the waterfall. The path to the waterfall is entirely made of high-pressure bricks and stone slabs, flanked by dense cypress and broadleaf forests. The scenery is beautiful, with the air filled with the fresh scent of earth and the invigorating phytoncides of the forest.

　　Sandie Waterfall is divided into three tiers—upper, middle, and lower—hence its name. The upper tier is powerful and has long been known as the “Devil’s Waterfall.” The middle tier features a wide, emerald-green pool with crystal-clear water that retains a natural, pristine feel. The lower tier is a double-stream waterfall, the most spectacular and popular among visitors. Surrounded by lush greenery in the mountains, embraced by the valley and cascading waters, and refreshed by the negative ions from the splashing water, visitors are also accompanied by stream birds such as the grey-cheeked fulvetta and the little forktail. It’s an uplifting experience that washes away all worries.

　　Sandie Waterfall is majestic and grand, with its emerald-green pool setting it apart from other scenic spots in the Taiping Mountain Forest Recreation Area. The area around the pool is spacious, filled with blooming flowers and birdsong, offering a chance to enjoy the wild charm of deep mountain valleys.
