Pingxi district is one of our favorite places in Taiwan. It has plenty of wonderful waterfalls you can swim in and it’s super easy to get there!<\/span><\/p>\n

How to get in the Pingxi district?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

From Taipei, take the MRT to Muzha MRT Station (brown line) and then the bus 795 towards Shifen. <\/span><\/p>\n

You can also take the train to get there but we feel the bus is way easier to stop at all the waterfalls. <\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t trust the time shown on Google. It only takes about 25 min (not 1h30 like google says) to get to the wormhole and about 45 to get to Lingjiao.<\/span><\/p>\n

Itinerary of the day<\/h4>\n

Wormhole\u00a0-> Lingjiao Waterfall -> Wanggu Waterfall-> Shifen Falls\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Taipei – Wormhole<\/strong><\/h4>\n

For a one day trip from Taipei, we would suggest you leave quite early to get the most out of the day! D<\/span>on\u2019t forget to pack some snacks, lunch and water, for the day. Also take your swimming suit, towel, sunscreen and mosquito repellent.<\/span><\/p>\n

We suggest you leave Muzha around 7:30- 8am. <\/span><\/p>\n

Take the bus 795\u00a0 towards Shifen and s<\/span>top at Fengqiaotou bus stop to get to the Wormhole.<\/span>You can read this article<\/a> to know exactly how to reach the Wormhole.<\/p>\n

Enjoy the Wormhole canyon, explore the river a little bit further, jump from rock inside the wormhole canyon, eat your breakfast and chill \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

We suggest you start moving towards Lingjiao Waterfall at about 10:30 am<\/span><\/p>\n

Wormhole – Lingjiao Waterfall<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Go back to the big road and take the 795 bus. Stop at Tianzi (Lingjiao Station) then walk to the Lingjiao waterfall<\/a>. It is a 10 to 15 min walk from the bus stop. <\/span>Read this article<\/a> to know exactly how to get to the waterfall.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you need to pass by a 7-11 to get some snacks or drinks, \u00a0get out of the bus at the previous stop (Pingxi Station) and then walk the way to the waterfall, its like 15 to 20 min from there. Note that the 7-11 at Pingxi is the last convenience store on the road.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lingjiao is an awesome waterfall. It is big (+10 meter high), you can swim in the water and jump from the waterfall. Don\u2019t forget to first get into the water and check that nothing has fallen at the bottom of the waterfall!\u00a0<\/span>This is a cool and sunny spot where you can hang out and have lunch.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We suggest to leave the waterfall at about 2 pm to be able to finish the day itinerary.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lingjiao – Wanggu<\/strong><\/h4>\n

To get from Lingjiao to Wanggu Waterfall you don’t have to take the bus again, there is actually a trail, the Lingjiaoliao Trail. The trail takes about 30 min from one waterfall to the other.<\/span><\/p>\n

The trailhead is there:\u00a0<\/span>\u5dba\u8173\u5bee\u767b\u5c71\u6b65\u9053 ,\u00a0<\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u865f, No. 27\u53f0\u8eca\u9053 Pingxi District, New Taipei City, 226<\/span>\"satelite<\/p>\n
