This is a really cool little river trace close to Dulan. You can park at the starting GPS point and shouldn't have much of an issue finding your way in from there. A good portion of this river trace is inside of a fairly narrow canyon. The views are great and the trace is a lot of fun. There were a couple of areas where you would want to be a fairly ... confident climber, or have someone go up first with a rope. When we went the water was quite low as it was the dry season. It could be a whole different type of trace when it's wet.

Yibahou village is one of Bunun people's very old dwelling places. It has been abandoned for decades and is full of wildlife. Sambar deer, barking deer and goats can be seen in the valley. At the mountain foot of Yibahou Village lies the hot spring. The original rectangular hot spring pool at the mountainside was buried by landslide. A shovel is su ... ggested for building a proper the hot spring pool. One way takes 1.5 - 2 days. The second most difficult hot spring in Taiwan. Swiftwater and falling rocks are expected. Experts only.

Incredibly beautiful. Not too hard yet challenging.

Not a beginning route. Swift water crossing is foreseeable. Beigang River Hot Spring No.1 is a concrete hot spring pool. Every 5 years there is a construction in progress deep in the river, thus a construction road where you can walk to the hot spring easily for 2-3 hours. The other years you need to trace your way there because the construction roa ... d no longer exists due to typhoon.

Beginner-friendly. A creek where hot spring sources are everywhere. Beautiful colorful walls that are usually seen only in the gorges deep in mountains. A hot spring cave that can contain 6-8 people(38-39 degree Celcius).
