The Ten Thousand Year Gorge (traditional Chinese: 萬年峽谷; simplified Chinese: 万年峡谷; pinyin: Wànnián Xiágǔ) is a canyon in Gukeng Township, Yunlin County, Taiwan.
History
The gorge was formed by the continuous erosion of stream to the bedrocks.
Geology
The canyon has various geological variations and stream erosion. The stream that passes the gorge starts from Tongxin Waterfall (Chinese: 同心瀑布) on the upstream upstream and plunges over series of small waterfalls before plummeting over a much larger Dragon Phoenix Waterfall (Chinese: 龍鳳瀑布) at its downstream. Half way lies a large 10-meter deep Treasure Island Pool (Chinese: 寶島池).
