Located upstream of the Ashiwen River in Shizi Township, Pingtung County, Kauyufeng Waterfall is the largest of its kind in southern Taiwan. With layered mountains and lush valleys, the waterfall trail winds up along the Ashiwen River through valley cliffs, where you can listen to the murmuring stream. The viewing platform at the end offers the best panoramic view of the waterfall. With a drop of about 40 meters, the water cascades down the cliff face and fans out beautifully, creating a spectacular and picturesque scene.

The design of the “Shanchuan Glass Bridge” was created by indigenous art master Sakuliu Pavavaljung, inspired by the glass beads of the Paiwan and Rukai tribes.

The scenery is stunning and majestic.

Hidden within a tribal community in Kenting, the “Shuiwakou Ecological Community” features a large grassland. In summer, the field is lush green, resembling the pastures of Europe. But come winter, the once-vibrant green turns into a barren yellow, giving the area a desolate winter vibe. Standing in the vast expanse of the grassland evokes a sense of melancholic solitude.
