The fairy-tale-like Lisi Song Hot Springs, known for its weakly alkaline sodium bicarbonate springs that turn the mountain walls a verdant green like a divine palette, is hailed as Taiwan’s most beautiful wild hot spring. Deep in the mountains of Nantou lies another breathtaking hidden wonder—“Tiebailun Waterfall,” with its crystal-clear turquoise waters and Taiwan’s only horizontally angled swirling plunge-style waterfall, offering scenery comparable to Lisi Song Hot Springs.

“Tiebailun Waterfall” is located in Hongxiang Tribe, west of Hehuanshan in Ren’ai Township, at an altitude of about 1,300 meters. The waterfall swirls between sheer cliffs and cascades diagonally into a crystal-clear deep pool, creating a spectacular scene akin to a paradise on earth. The stone walls of Tiebailun Canyon, oxidized by minerals over the years, form orange and white streaks, which have been carved into beautiful arcs by the long-term scouring of the stream, forming a majestic canyon landscape.

As Tiebailun Waterfall is situated deep within a remote canyon, visitors must drive along a long industrial road and hike for about 20 minutes. Travelers should carefully assess their physical condition before visiting. Additionally, the pool is deep and fast-flowing, so while enjoying the scenery, safety should be a priority, and the rare beauty of the site should be collectively preserved.
