River Tracing Hualien

Yasheng Waterfall(24.03165,121.54109) is in the mainstream of Meilun North Creek, into which the creek to Orion Waterfall flows. The river tracing isn't escpecially difficult; just go along the river and you'll eventually get there. If you want to go further up, there is a very sketchy thin rope set up by local hunters on the right side(facing downs ... treams) near Yasheng Waterfall, and you will need technical equipment for going up and back down. 2 days are suggested for a further exploration to trace more upstreams. It is possible to combine Yasheng Waterfall and Orion Waterfall in one day.

A small stream with two waterfalls. The first one is around 20 meters tall with a pool, and the distance is 5 minutes from the road. The second one is farther, and the direct route—on right side(facing downstream), and some part of the trail requires concentration and carefulness—to it takes around 30 minutes or more. Another option is to cut to the ... creek early to enjoy climbing in the creek.

This tributary is by Wanrong Hot Spring (NOT Molishaka), also called Yuanyanggu Hot Spring, and thus has a lot of outcrops popping out of the valley and creating special colorful walls, and a tiny hot spring pool can be found on the way. The distance of this river trace is short yet somehow challenging, which involves a few techniques such as boosti ... ng, climbing, swimming across pools, and a short rappelling on the way back. The gorge in the end has the vibes of Lisong Hot Spring, but there is not a hot spring pool. There are a 6 meters waterfall, which is difficult to trace up, and an emerald pool by a colorful wall. After the waterfall are 2 much taller waterfalls with one of them being 20 meters tall. This creek is advised to be visited only in dry seasons, when the main river, Wanli River, is much less likely to flood than in summer, when the rainy season is, and it takes several days for the water level to descend after each medium rain, not to mention frequent and violent afternoon downpours in summer.
