Jiurushan Waterfalls
九如山瀑布群
A waterfall gorge scenic area in the southern mountains, where streams and cascades multiply in summer, making it a cool spot for wading near the city.
Jiuru Mountain lies in Xiying Town and is known for more than a dozen waterfalls of various sizes in its gorge. Trails follow the stream upward. Water flow is strongest in summer after rain, and autumn brings red leaves. The scenic area also has a glass bridge, slides and other attractions, and a full walk takes about 3 to 4 hours. It is about 45 km from the city center, making it suitable for a one-day self-drive trip. Ticket and activity prices follow official information. Stone steps are slippery after rain, so take care.
