Introduction

Shimen Tai is located about 3 kilometers north of Taogongdong in the Daruoyan Scenic Area and is famous for its nine waterfalls. These waterfalls are unique in their own ways, each with a different shape and scenery, presenting multiple levels of coherence. It is not easy for those who want to see the cascades to see nine waterfalls of varying levels in a stream that is less than three kilometers long. The seventh waterfall is about 40 meters high, and the water cascades down the steep cliffs, pouring into the blue pool, with surging water and lush green trees around, making it a spectacular sight. The eighth waterfall is eight meters high, and it flows through the mountains on both sides, revealing only a thin line of sky, and the wild orchids near the pool emit a rich fragrance. The ninth waterfall is more than 20 meters high, with steep cliffs around, like a deep well. It flows down from the peak, making a roaring sound, splashing water, causing the walls to vibrate, like a noisy rainstorm. There is a 3-meter high, 2-meter wide and 1.5-meter wide Shimen Tai outside the stone gate, and water flows out from the gate. Outside the Shimen Tai, there is also a 2-meter high and 5-meter long stone threshold, with cool stream water flowing from both ends into the threshold and flowing down in different directions. With its rugged rocks and steep cliffs, diverse scenery, it is hailed as a perfect scenic spot.
