River Tracing East Taiwan

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.

Geba Waterfall(戈霸瀑布)24.68408,121.57433. There is another waterfall further up, and the distance to it is said to be 1 hour from Geba Waterfall. The trail goes to Geba Waterfall from the entrance. This creek is in Jiuliao River Ecological Park, and river tracing is not allowed. There is a chance to get driven away by the patrols.

Easy and nice. It has several clean nice pools. Many butterflies and shrimp. There's a 4 meter waterfall at 24.96,121.9085 that you need to climb over. At the end of the trace is a 8-meter waterfall. If you go above the 8-meter waterfall, two really tall waterfalls are around the corner. The one on the main stream is around 20-25 meters tall, and ... the other one on the left fork is also around that height. We went around the waterfall on the right side(facing downstream) and did a little bushwhack, but it was quite easy in general. There's webbing and a rope on the other side but it looked very sketchy to climb up, so we didn't go up on the left side(facing downstream).

The trace to emerald valley's big pool is very popular and very easy. The pool has a slide to it. One can get to this big pool with just water shoes. Further up is there Zimu Waterfall. Not difficult at all but river tracing boots are suggested.
