Yunlong Falls is a tiered waterfall situated within the Batongguan Historic Trail in Taiwan's Yushan National Park. The waterfall features two main cascades dropping a combined height of approximately 100 meters into the Lele River valley. It is notable for its position along a steep cliffside where the trail passes directly underneath the waterfall, allowing visitors to walk behind the spray. The water source originates from the higher elevations of the Central Mountain Range. It serves as a primary landmark for hikers trekking toward the Batongguan Meadow or further into the Yushan massif. The area is prone to seismic activity and rockfalls, which often necessitate trail monitoring by park authorities.
