First waterfall: 23.71886,121.37544 Second waterfall: 23.71878,121.375 Third waterfall: 23.71818,121.3736
The hot spring outcrops lie between 23.72413,121.37077 to 23.728852, 121.369507, and there are several really good hot spring pools.
The ending GPS spot is Yading Hot Spring(芽丁溫泉). There are two main outcrops: one at 24.54555,121.73037 and the other one at 24.54496,121.72239. The former's heat source's water temperature is around 60 degree Celsius, and the latter's is around 40 degrees and is a hot spring waterfall.
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.
