Qingshui Cliffs

Qingshui Cliff is located on the east side of Qingshui Mountain, stretching for 21 kilometers from Heping on the Suhua Highway to Chongde. Among them, the southeastern cliff of Qingshui Mountain is particularly steep. The cliff faces the sea for 5 kilometers and is very spectacular. When driving between the mountain cliffs and the boundless sea, it seems like clouds are soaring in the sky. There are huge walls above and vast oceans below. It is really thrilling. I can also feel the hardships of the predecessors in pioneering and building roads. What I see in front of me is a story of mountains and seas. A magnificent poem about people. Here you can also enjoy the same color of the Pacific Ocean and the sky, the confrontation between the mountains and the sea, and the stunning multi-layered blue of the coast.

Most of the current Qingshui Cliff section of the Suhua Highway has been rebuilt, and the road has been widened by cutting corners, straightening them and digging new tunnels.

The old coastal road of the Suhua Highway, which is surrounded by the majestic scenery of Qingshui Cliff, was a safer section in the early days of the national park. It turns into a quiet and beautiful scenic trail. Walking on the old road, looking at the tranquil mountains, overlooking the waves caused by the waves hitting the rocks, and feeling the sea breeze, it is like being on a sky corridor that reaches neither the sky nor the ground. It is fascinating.

Later, most sections of the old Linhai Road were closed due to frequent rockfall hazards.

Currently, only the Huide Scenic Road (trail) is planned to be opened. It is located at the old road section at the rest point at the north entrance of Huide Tunnel. The scenic road is open at the end of the seaside section of the hiking area, which has the "Ten Scenic Spots of Taiwan" - Qingshui Cliff's stone monument and viewing platform are the best scenic spots to overlook Qingshui Cliff.

The large stone cliffs connected by the seaside cliffs range from sea level to Qingshui Mountain at 2,408 meters. The mountains along the line are towering and the terrain is steep. They rise from the Pacific Ocean at almost 90-degree angles. The heights are all over 800 meters. They are majestic. .

The rocks that make up the cliff are mainly composed of green schist, gneiss and marble.

Their rocky texture is less likely to weather and collapse, creating the majestic and steep Qingshui Cliff, forming a special topographic landscape with an almost vertical and huge height difference, which has been majestic for thousands of years. Standing on the east coast of Taiwan.

The Suhua Coast area has experienced many plate collisions and subductions, and is located at the intersection of mountains and seas, creating rich and special geological and terrain landscapes such as fault cliffs, deltas, valleys and coasts.
