You step off the van into thin, cool air—mountain wind tugging at jacket cuffs as mist threads through pine and bamboo. The trail begins with soft, wet soil beneath your boots and the distant roar of Silver Waterfall growing louder: a concrete, vertical cascade dropping more than 200 metres into a green bowl.
