Be sure to check out one of northern Taiwan's most beautiful waterfalls.

一定要去看看北臺灣最美麗的瀑布之一。

　　 While Taiwan is known for its shopping and cheap street food, locals outside of the major cities know that its natural beauty is second to none. Northern Taiwan in particular is home to one of the most beautiful waterfalls on the island—Shifen Waterfall. The best part is that it is located in between beautiful green mountains, and you can reach it by taking one of the island's most historic train lines.

　　 雖然臺灣以購物和便宜的街頭小吃而聞名，但大城市以外的本地人都知道，這裡的自然美景更是首屈一指。其中尤以北臺灣的十分瀑布為本島上最美麗的瀑布之一。最棒的是它坐落於美麗的綠色群山之間，而且你還可以搭乘島上最有歷史的火車支線之一到達。

　　Visitors can take the train to Ruifang and hop on the Pingxi rail line. This short track once linked all of the coal mining towns in the area. Now, tourists can travel there to get a look into the recent past. After getting off the train at Shifen station, Shifen Waterfall is only a short walk away. At around 20 meters tall and 40 meters wide, it is one of the largest waterfalls in Taiwan. The relaxing sound of the falling water is the perfect way to get away from the stress of the city. After that, you can head back to Shifen Old Street and treat yourself to delicious local street food and enjoy the sights in this former coal mining town.

　　遊客可搭乘火車前往瑞芳，再搭平溪線。這條短程的鐵道曾經連接了此區的所有採煤小鎮。遊客現在可以前往那裡去了解這個地方最近的過去。在十分車站下車後，只需短暫步行即可抵達十分瀑布。它高約二十公尺，寬四十公尺，是臺灣最大的瀑布之一。此處讓人放鬆的瀑布聲是遠離城市壓力最完美的方式了。欣賞完瀑布後，便可以返回十分老街犒賞自己品嚐些當地美味的街頭小吃，並享受這個曾經是採煤小鎮的風光。
