Molishaka Hot Spring is at the mountainside. Usually, there is a rope that you can climb up with.

The GPS location is the famous Wulai Hot Spring. It has a lot of pools built by local people. However, it is said that a large proportion of local hot spring companies hate the natural hot spring so bad, thinking people would rather go to free natural one than theirs. They somehow manage to get the local authority to build up fences to block the ent ... ry to the hot spring. Each time the entrance is different. Sometimes it is a hole on a fence, sometimes it is a ladder. Keep an eye on and stalk local bathers for natural hot spring might be the key leading to the hot spring.

Easy trace located quite close to town. Perfect for someone just looking to get into river tracing. The ending GPS location will get you to an area with a big slide that is quite fun, and quite safe. The final pool is deep so make sure you know how to swim. Some people I know have taken dogs on this trace up until the waterslide so thats possible if ... you want to give it a go. You can take the left-hand fork away from the main pool you end up at and go slightly further up to find a small pool to relax in. It should be easy to recognize as it's shaped a bit like a very specific part of the male anatomy. You can either continue further up this stream, though it does get a harder quite and I wouldn't suggest it unless you more experienced (only went 20 mins up myself, though would like to go back with more time as it looks fun) or find a trail on your left-hand side if you're facing upstream you can use to walk back to where you started. If that all seems a bit confusing check the photos for a drawing

Short, beautiful, fun and somehow challanging. The river is always crowded on holidays in summer due to many commercial groups and visitors. First big waterfall pool is good to swim(but be careful or avoid it when the current is too strong). The river has several natural slides. You can jump into water at the first big waterfall or the pool at a val ... ley which is just more upstream to the first waterfall. (Always check the depth of water before jumping!) No public transportation. You need to take a taxi from Nan'ao Train Station or drive a car or a scooter to here.

This trace starts out very close the road. It quickly goes strait upwards. It is not a flat trace in any stretch of the way, but has some great waterfalls to climb over.
