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.

Very easy and accessible in dry seasons. Good hot springs but be careful of falling rocks. Don't camp right at the mountainfoot, which is prone to falling rocks.

This was a nice little spot. Sadly we didn't make it very far up. We got to a portion with a waterfall that used to have a rope to help get up that had been removed. As we didn't have one to put into its spot we had to turn around. If we had one it may be possible to continue further up this river and connect this trace with this one https://www.tr ... acetaiwan.com/traces/81

First off from the GPS point take the path on your right-hand side. It will get you in the water. Go upstream. Really REALLY great place. We went during a drought when nothing else around had any water and it was still a good time. As such I imagine this is best done during the dry season. There were a couple of climbs that weren't all that easy. I ... managed them and I am no pro, but you'll want to have had a bit of experience scrambling around rocks without ropes to get past a couple of the falls. There are also a couple of sections where there will be ropes along the side up into the jungle and around a couple of obstacles so keep an eye out for those. Some cool caves that would make a great place for a tent can also be found for anyone into that sorta thing.

Trees, water and mountains are emerald green. Many pools in this river. I traced the right fork which has most fun. The mainstream is boring, thus not worthy going. There is a 2M slope in the middle (24.90268,121.77072) that you either need to booast up with your teammate or pull yourself up on the pipe to get over.
