Challenging and adventurous to get to the end, otherwise a very short trace. Super fun: absolutely packed with waterfalls, pools, and slides. Increases in difficulty quickly, with ropes beginning at the first of six major waterfalls. Very steep climbs on dubious ropes with loose rocks. Rock climbing experience and a very early start recommended to f ... ully enjoy.

Really great trace, one of my favourites that I have been able to visit in Northern Taiwan. The water is clean, and the entire area feels quite natural (sans the very start where people hang out). The GPS should take you to a bridge. You will be able to get down and start the trace via a path on the right-hand side of the bridge. In the very first ... area, it's possible you will run into people. Once you climb the ropes along the side to pass the first waterfall you should have the place almost entirely to yourself. You may run into various waterfalls that seem impassable, there is generally a trail located somewhere around them that will take you up and over them.
