This scenic spot in Xindian is a very famous check-in spot. Although it takes a little time and effort to walk up, it is actually worth the walk. It takes about 20 minutes to reach. Moreover, this check-in spot is worth visiting. It is a distinctive highlight and it is really beautiful to take pictures. That's right, you don't have to worry about the weather when checking in here.

😁The fairy-like attraction "Galaxy Cave" in Xindian is really beautiful and shocking! The climb is not too difficult. It takes about 10 to 20 minutes to reach the Yinhe Cave. You can hear the sound of waterfalls along the way. There are open stone benches along the way for you to take a break. The ground in the Galaxy Cave is quite wet because it is near the waterfall, so be careful! It is recommended not to come during peak hours because there will be a lot of people! There aren’t many places where you can see waterfalls up close, so I was really excited to see it 🤣 Address: No. 68, Yinhe Road, Xindian District, New Taipei City (directly navigate to Yinhe Cave). Opening hours: 24H. Features: Close-up waterfalls, scenery, mountain climbing, and internet beauties. #TaiwanTourism #TaiwanAttractions #HotAttractions #XindianAttractions #HikingFun #InternetCelebrityAttractions #GalaxyCave #GalaxyCaveWaterfall #IReallyWantToGo #MobilePhotography #MotorcycleTravel #Photography Guide

This time I will take you straight up to the clouds☁️, to feel the misty and fairy-like 🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️🧚‍♀️ of the Galaxy Cave Mountain Crossing Trail🥾. This trail is not difficult and can be easily reached by beginners (only about half an hour round trip). Due to the special terrain, the stream above cuts straight down from the cliff on the mountainside. The waterfall-like waterfall on the itinerary is as beautiful as the Milky Way😘 and has become a popular check-in spot on IG‼ ️Luckily it has been raining recently, the waterfall has enough water, making the whole picture look spectacular💧 Actually there is a fork in the road that leads to the Maokong Trail, but it is quite far away. I will try it next time I have the chance. I also provide it for your reference😁 #Travel Photo Girl#Travel Guide#High-altitude View#The night view here is super beautiful#Hiking#Good Place for Parents and Children#Where to Go in Summer
