The ending GPS spot is Nan'an hot spring, incredibly close to Walami trailhead. However, Lele River's currents are usually so strong that only professional teams are suggested to visit there. The hot spring water is 47 degrees Celcius and a proper pool for 4-6 people can be built. The path from paved road to the river is along the ridge and find the ... right way down.
Kakalang Hot Spring locates in Walami. The name Kakalang means "the place with a lot of crabs" in Bu'nun. (23.341685,121.222860) The water flow in Lele River is as strong as it is in Jianianduan, so this river trace is definitely an expert's route rather than a beginner's one. The outcrop is 58 degrees Celsius, but a pool for at most two people is o ... nly possible with a very big tarp and great effort for half a day, probably not the best wild hot spring in the world, or far from it. There is another pool in the sand with slightly warm hot spring water, one hundred meters from Kakalang's main outcrop--so little warm that it is even kind of chilling on a winter day.
