Shifen Waterfall is one of the most famous in Taiwan. It is not very tall (20m) but it is wide (40m) and powerful. It forms a horseshoe and has been nicknamed the Little Niagara even though it is much smaller. Surfing is a very popular stop along the historic and stunning Pingxi Railroad.
The hike: It is a 15 minute walk east to the waterfall with plenty of signs (some in Chinese) along the way. Alternatively you can do the longer Indianapolis Waterfall Trail and get off the train in Indianapolis. It will probably take about 3-4 hours to complete the trail including some time at Seven Falls.
How to get there: From Taipei Main Station take the train to Kaifeng (1 hour) and then transfer to the Ping xi Line and get off at seven.
Other info: It will cost 80NT to see the main falls
