Recently visitors have significantly risen, especially on holidays. At the end of the river trace is there a waterfall with its big pool. On my way to it I saw wild boars and deer. The water is beautiful and the valley is very ... ideal for camping. The river trace is easy. -

River:
佳里溪 / Jiali riverArea:
TaitungRegion:
EastStart:
22.925440, 121.258232This is a really cool little river trace close to Dulan. You can park at the starting GPS point and shouldn't have much of an issue finding your way in from there. A good portion of this river trace is inside of a fairly narrow canyon. The views are great and the trace is a lot of fun. There were a couple of areas where you would want to be a fairly ... confident climber, or have someone go up first with a rope. When we went the water was quite low as it was the dry season. It could be a whole different type of trace when it's wet. -
