   Really great mini gorge to climb around in. This is my personal favourite trace I have found on Yamingshan mountain. Done it a few times and seen a fair number of fish but no other notable wildlife. It isn't all that far from civilization so you see pipes and other signs of human life a few times.

   River:

   老梅溪 / lǎo méi xī

   Area:

   Start:

   25.241758, 121.553740

   - You can take a bus to the trail to enter the trace or find parking at this location: 25.246974, 121.558699. Walk down the trail to the very end and you'll be able to get into the water just past where the river forks. You will in fact be on the wrong side of the fork, so you will need to backtrack downstream for around 2 minutes and get into the ... other branch located at the starting GPS point. With the exception of one climb near the end, this is a fairly easy trace. If the rope is present even that isn't much. Clean water, with tons of frogs.
