Quite popular! Return via Lukuping (鹿堀坪) trail. A very dense but short trace: gets steep quick, has several deep pools and waterfalls, and one steep but easy climb. Can be linked with other hikes around Lukuping and Fushiping.

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).

Another very popular river trace for guided groups. No big, roped climbs but overall longer, consistently steep, with some mildly technical steps at the end. Goes around Sisters Waterfall (姐妹瀑布) and finishes at the spectacular Yunsen Waterfall (雲森瀑布). A few nice pools to play in. Popular area, don't expect to find solitude. Possible to extend into l ... onger, more challenging trace/hike.

The perfect casual beginner trace! Super flat and easy, with lots of pools to play in on the way to a natural rock slide. Option to continue 30min further to another waterfall. Exit from the slide pool via dirt trail to join Honghegu (紅河谷) trail back to the start.

Very fun trace despite all the pipes. Cool rock features! A few steep climbs, including a high technical one above a deep pool. Ends at a nice little waterfall just below a farmer's field. To return, take the trail on the right (east) until you cross a bridge, then follow the road with possible shortcuts.
