A perfect place to go river tracing. Tons of waterfalls and areas to practice climbing, and a near-endless supply of emerald blue pools perfect for swimming in. There are a fair number of people at the start point though we only saw one other group more than 300m up and no one after 500m or so. I should note that we went the morning after a big st ... orm and the water was moving quite quickly in some places. Another group we saw was forced to turn back as some of their members were not comfortable going further. Fortunately, their "leader" worked with us to set some ropes up and get us and himself across the worst of it. We wanted to make it right to the end of the river, however, were blocked around 200m from the final waterfall. We went up the mountain on our left and down to the road on the other side of it and walked out. This involved quite a few scraps and a pretty steep scramble. Either be prepared for some trailless Mountian bushwacking or have enough time to double back if you hit the endpoint we have as a GPS. The trail mountain wacked our way to can be found here 22.835964, 120.653911.

Many waterfall and pools in this creek. Popular on weekends. OK for beginners.

This was a nice little spot. Sadly we didn't make it very far up. We got to a portion with a waterfall that used to have a rope to help get up that had been removed. As we didn't have one to put into its spot we had to turn around. If we had one it may be possible to continue further up this river and connect this trace with this one https://www.tr ... acetaiwan.com/traces/81

First off from the GPS point take the path on your right-hand side. It will get you in the water. Go upstream. Really REALLY great place. We went during a drought when nothing else around had any water and it was still a good time. As such I imagine this is best done during the dry season. There were a couple of climbs that weren't all that easy. I ... managed them and I am no pro, but you'll want to have had a bit of experience scrambling around rocks without ropes to get past a couple of the falls. There are also a couple of sections where there will be ropes along the side up into the jungle and around a couple of obstacles so keep an eye out for those. Some cool caves that would make a great place for a tent can also be found for anyone into that sorta thing.
