Jiaolong Waterfall

　　Jiaolong Waterfall is a cliffside waterfall located on the northern side of the Tashan mountain range in Taihe Village, Meishan Township, Chiayi County, Taiwan. With a total drop of 600 meters, it is the highest waterfall in Taiwan. During the summer rainy season, the waterfall is incredibly powerful. Viewed from a distance, it resembles a towering white jade pillar reaching to the sky or a white dragon soaring into the clouds — its majestic presence is truly awe-inspiring.

　　Standing next to Jiaolong Waterfall, visitors can see a steep cliff face as high as 1,600 meters, shrouded in mist that obscures the top. The waterfall seems to plunge down from these clouds. It cascades in four directions, spanning nearly 100 meters in width. Along the cliffs, it splits from one stream into four or five, then merges into two, then further divides into seven or eight… before finally plunging 400 meters into the abyss at the bottom, sending up splashes of water and thunderous roars.

　　During the rainy season from May to September, when water volume is high, Jiaolong Waterfall splits into two tiers as it cascades downward. When water levels are lower, it flows down the valley in four tiers, with the lowest tier about 400 meters above the ground. Visitors standing in the open area of Fengshan can clearly see the waterfall. In summer, during the rainy season, it is extremely powerful, but in winter during the dry season, only a bare rock face can be seen. Therefore, it is best to visit during the summer.
