Breathtakingly beautiful. Wulakusan hot spring outcrops lie on the rock wall at the end of the river trace. This creek has many emerald pools like the ones in Sanzhan River and beautiful gorges. This isn’t a river trace for beginners due to swiftwater and suckholes.
The hot spring is in Dawushan Nature Reserve. You need to get the permit on the website of Forestry Bureau. Only a day trip is allowed.
The entrance is called "Butterfly Valley(蝴蝶谷)", a natural water park for the local. Fun for swimming, picnicking and BBQ. 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.
This 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.
Incredibly beautiful. Not too hard yet challenging.
