River details
- English name
- lǎo méi xī
- Chinese name
- 老梅溪
- Description
- Located in Yaminshan mountain Northern Taipei. Enough water to trace and find the occasional pool, but it loses some of that near the source.
-
Multiple waterfalls, though the first (豬槽潭瀑布) is the best for water play. Does require a steep climb around another waterfall near the end. Stops abruptly at a small pool and a primitive trail which joins with established walkway. Can exit early via parallel hiking trail to Qingshan Waterfall (青山瀑布). Possible sidetrip to this nearby waterfall (very ... popular).
-
- 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.
