    The area is not big, not that much to see, and only a few spots for photos, I imagine to wait for a while if you want to take a photo on the stand out balcony on holidays. With sufficient water flow, the photos will look great but I wouldn't say the view is spectacular. Nevertheless, it is still worthy for a walk. We walked about 30 minutes to the hiking stairs after a 12-15 minutes bus ride (if you schedule well you could take bus Green#12 it saves you 10 minutes walk but the bus is like an hour apart). The stairs to the waterfall took us about 15-20 minutes. Strongly recommend to bring water bottle because it could be very hot and you will be thirsty. There will be a restroom just down the hiking entrance. Also sunscreen is a must! If you love hiking, you could easily spend a day here and go further passed this spot to the next place.

    A great trail to hike! Quite steep in the beginning, but only takes about 15 min to get to the waterfall. Extended trail goes all the way to Maokong gondola which can be reached in an hour. A good walk!

    Pretty short hike with a nice waterfall you can walk behind. I usually start from Maokong and walk down from there. I hike this trail about once a year.

    Holy cow! It was a hike! From bus stop to the start of the trail, are some steep hill. The trail are all stairs of course since its a mountain trail.

    (Translated by Google) I have lived in Xindian for 40 years. It’s the first time I went to Yinhe Cave 😊 There are many steps and quite steep. After going through the cave and climbing up, I will meet a foreigner muscular man running in the mountains, and then another ~ soon One~ I asked the running warriors and found out that they are a running community. There are about 70 people. I immediately became a cheerleader. Every time I saw a runner, I yelled to them: Come on! Come on! Go! Go! They all smiled back and said thank you, and then continued to run on the muddy mountain steps in the light rain🏃‍♂️ A resident who went back on a local holiday told us that they would see the community who came to Yinhe Cave for trail running 2 to 3 times a month. Only when I came back and checked the Internet did I know that the mountain road of Yinhe Cave is an entry-level trail running base. ~We are out of breath when we just walk and climb, do they use the basic model for running? The Internet said that the most challenging Dragon-Tiger-Phoenix cross-country race, the top animal group ran 82 kilometers on the mountain road, with a slope of 6000 meters, and ran for more than 20 hours in the steep descending slope of the mountain. 🤜🤛 #Yinhedong Mountain hiking trail (Original) 在新店住了40年,第一次到銀河洞😊挺多階梯也挺陡,過洞再往上爬,不期然就會遇到一個山野跑步的老外肌肉男,然後又一個~不久後再一個~問了跑步的勇士,才知道他們是健跑社群,約有70人,我即刻化身啦啦隊,每見到一個跑步者,就跟他們大喊:加油!加油!Go! Go!他們都微笑回說謝謝,然後在微雨泥濘的山階上,繼續往前奔跑🏃‍♂️ 一個當地假日才回去的住民跟我們說,他們一個月會看到2~3次來銀河洞越野跑的社群,回來上網查才知道原來銀河洞的山路是入門級的越野跑基地,天啊~我們光用走爬,就已經氣喘吁吁,他們用跑的,還是基本款? 網路說最挑戰的龍虎鳳越野賽,頂級神獸組跑山路82公里,坡度6000公尺,在山林陡降坡中跑超過20小時,原來人的潛能如此無限,實在~實在~太激勵人了🤜🤛 #銀河洞越嶺登山步道

    Nice short walk to impressive drop of waterfall. Some lovely fauna along the way, and nice midway waterfall too). A good few stairs for a 10-15 minute walk to the main waterfall and temple - but easy enough for most to complete and enjoy.

    What a superb trail where you can immerse yourself in the feeling of deep subtropical forest in no more than 30 minutes of casual hiking of well-maintained stairs. So very cool.

  • 5/5 Josh R. 9 months ago on Google
    Very beautiful hike leading up to the waterfall. Trail is well maintained. The temple built into the cliff is really cool to see in person. The hike is fairly easy, the main challenge being a few sections of very steep stone stairway. You can continue all the way to Maokong Gondola station and beyond.

  • 5/5 First L. 6 years ago on Google
    Yinhe road isn't very eye catching, I actually missed it the first time around, it's around 14.8km, do keep an eye out. The trail up from yinhe road is a simple <15min flight of stairs. The steps are slippery so do be careful. My recommendation is going there a few days after a rainy day, as the waterfall is very sensitive to water availability. Going there right after a big storm makes the waterfall look more like a jet stream imo, so wait a few days.

  • 5/5 Alan Y. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The scenery is beautiful, the waterfall is very magnificent, and it feels like a fairyland. The trails along the way are all stone steps. Some stone steps are narrow and loose, and they will slip on rainy days. Be careful when walking, but the distance from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain is about 20 ~30 minutes, there are roadside parking and toilets under the mountain for tourists to use, it is a place worth walking. (Original) 景色幽美,瀑布很有氣勢,很有仙境的感覺,沿途步道都是石階,有些石階較窄有些會鬆動,下雨天會滑,走路要特別小心,不過從山下到山上距離不遠大概20~30分鐘,山下有路邊停車及廁所可供遊客使用,很值得來走走的地方。

  • 5/5 kevin k. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Need some physical strength! They are all stone stairs. A good place for walking in the suburbs of Taipei, with green mountains and green waters, and finally to the temple. Many people will stand on the protruding terrace of the temple to take photos. On the right is the Milky Way Waterfall, which is really beautiful. Note that the stone stairs are slippery, please wear anti-slip sneakers! It can be connected to the nearby Green Cube restaurant, which is a good itinerary for a day trip. (Original) 需要一些體力!都是石頭階梯。在台北近郊走青的好地方,青山綠水,最後到達廟宇,很多人會站在廟宇突出的露台拍照,右邊就是銀河瀑布,真的很美。注意石頭階梯濕滑,請穿止滑運動鞋!可以連接附近的青立方餐廳,是一日遊的好行程。

  • 5/5 Tai Yi T. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) There are so many people who come to the Yinhedong Mountain Trail on holidays🤣 There are so many trails! I usually climb very hard without exercise habit~ There are people along the road, so everyone walks and stops together But you can also take in Fendolin and take a look at the beautiful scenery☺️ It takes about half an hour to go up the mountain but up to see the beautiful Milky Way Cave It's worth taking beautiful photos online👍 Oh by the way, be careful when driving ⚠️ It is recommended to stop at the foot of the mountain where the navigation distance is five minutes At the beginning, because the road was getting narrower and narrower, I decided not to go forward. After getting off the car, everyone complained along the road that the car stopped too far It took about 900m to reach the mountain trail in about 20 minutes Seeing everyone stop there...but! ! ! When I was going down the mountain, I saw that there were about 20 cars for meeting At that time, we walked down the mountain and we were very thankful that we didn't stop there just now. The narrow road is really not good at cars Fortunately, we stopped Otherwise, the next mountain may be fortified for several hours😅 (Original) 假日來銀河洞越嶺步道的人超級多🤣 步道階梯蠻多的!平常沒運動習慣會爬得很辛苦~ 沿路都是人所以大家一起走走停停的 但也可以順便吸收芬多精看看美景☺️ 上山大概半小時但上去看到美麗的銀河洞 拍拍網美照很值得👍 喔對了開車要注意⚠️ 建議停在導航距離還有五分鐘的那邊山下 一開始因為看到路越來越窄所以就決定不往前開了 然後下車後大家沿路抱怨車停太遠啦 走了大概900m 快二十分鐘才到登山口 看到大家都停那邊..但是!!! 等到要下山的時候就看到大概有20幾台要會車 那時走下山的我們就很慶幸剛剛沒停到上面😅 那路窄的真的不太能會車的那種 真的還好我們停山下 不然下個山可能要塞好幾小時😅

    A temple at the top that gave off a mystical feeling... It was a wonderful trek but a very tiring one at that. Quite inaccessible even with public transport. Not for the faint hearted if you don't like feeling lost.

    A dream like destination at the end of endless stairs. It is a sight to behold. Transporting you to a wonderfully fantastical land. It even have an area where the waterfall forms into a small pond that allows for kids and adults alike to enjoy a cooling dip.

    It's a short walk from the road, a unique Temple,be prepared to see lots of worm on the trail, walk behind a falls, quiet atmosphere...All in all it's worth to visit

  • 5/5 Yabi C. 6 years ago on Google
    Wonderful place to go if you visit Maokong. The trail was easy for all ages. Walking into the woods there's a temple standed at the rock wall near the magnificent waterfall.

  • 5/5 Vince L. 6 years ago on Google
    Nice temple at the end of the trail plus you can continue on up to the Maokong gondola station.

  • 3/5 Jonathon J. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice short walk and nice view. Temple kinda cool with the waterfall but not worth the effort to get there unless you have a car and then only if you have plenty of time to spare.

  • 4/5 Aisyah i. 1 year ago on Google
    hiking trail to the location is not too difficult. The location is above and quite cramped. The view from above is good. Waterfall in summer looks small. After that, you can continue your journey to the Maokong Gondola.

  • 3/5 Han-hsiang C. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Yinhe Cave has become a beauty spot on the Internet, so the green 12 on holidays may not be crowded. It is recommended to go to Xindian Station 15 minutes early on the holiday to line up for Green 12. (Matcha Mountain is also a lot of people) If you want to cross the ridge, you can think about the strategy of crossing the ridge from Xiaoshi Mountain, instead of crowding people in the Milky Way Cave during the holiday, you can complete the small lion-two-ge-bijiashan system. (Original) 銀河洞變網美景點,所以假日的綠12可能擠不上去。建議假日早15分鍾去新店站排隊綠12。(抹茶山也是,人很多)想越嶺的,可以思考從小獅山進行越嶺攻略,不用假日銀河洞人擠人,完成小獅-二格-筆架山系大縱走。

  • 5/5 陳建志 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The environment here is still quiet and ancient. The waterfall never stops throughout the year. The transportation is convenient. Remember not to wear white clothes. The floor is especially slippery when the floor is wet, especially on the ancient stone moss. It is recommended to start from Yinhe Road and Fude Palace , The walking time is shorter. (Original) 這裡的環境依然清幽古意,瀑布一年四季永不停歇,交通方便,記得別穿白色系衣著,地板潮濕時,特別滑,尤其在古石青苔上,建議從銀河路,山腳福德宮開始出發,行走時間較短。
