Feishui Pool

飞水潭

The most spectacular waterfall plunge pool in the Dinghu Mountain gorge, where Sun Yat-sen once swam. It is cool and refreshing in summer.

Feishui Pool lies in the valley on the western side of the Dinghu Mountain scenic area. A waterfall plunges down the rock face into a deep pool with a thunderous roar, surrounded by towering ancient trees. In 1922, Sun Yat-sen and Soong Ching-ling visited here, and a stone inscription by the pool reads 'Where Sun Yat-sen Swam.' A streamside trail takes about an hour round trip. The water flow is greatest and the views are best in the rainy season. The rocks are slippery, so do not enter the pool to swim.
