# Ten Thousand Year Gorge

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).
