A Glimpse of Gold: Taiwan’s Golden Waterfalls

#summervacay Located near Jiufen and the historic mining town of Jinguashi, the Golden Waterfalls present a striking and surreal landscape. The cascading streams glow with golden-brown hues not from actual gold, but from the rich mineral deposits left behind by decades of mining. Framed by rugged hills and sweeping coastal views, the area feels peaceful and untouched. While the water isn’t safe to touch due to its mineral content, the scene remains a stunning spot for photos. A brief stop here adds a magical, golden highlight to any journey along Taiwan’s scenic northeast coast.
