This is a really really easy trace as far as there not being any real difficult climbs or such along the way. I would recommend this place to beginners as it's easy to access and you shouldn't have any issues with it. It is one of the more accessible outdoor adventures in Taiwan. As it's not too far away from society I wouldn't drink the water. At c ... ertain points, you may find people BBQing. There are a few places where the water is deep enough to swim if you want. As such if you can't swim be prepared to deal with them. There is also a point further upstream you can start this trace if you want it to take a little longer located at 25.205517,121.520577. Personally, I liked the second half of the trace more but that's up to you.

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.

- 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 (until you get to a bridge) 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 turn left to 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 with lots of rocks and boulders. If the rope is present even that isn't much. Clean water, with tons of frogs.
