Goddess' Pool (戴娥娜神池) at the destination. This river trace is a popular commercial route; it is easy and the pool is beautiful.

Difficulty: 3/5 when dry 4/5 with normal water flow The entrance to this small creek is just 200 meters away from Goddess' Pool(戴娥娜神池) There are several waterfalls ranging from few meters tall to 7 meters tall, the tallest one. It's much easier when it's dry. I wonder how difficult it might be when water flow is higher, probably pretty tough. For ev ... ery waterfall, either there's always a way to go around or you need to climb up the waterfall(some ropes are already there). Several pools can be found by the waterfalls.

Yasheng Waterfall(24.03165,121.54109) is in the mainstream of Meilun North Creek, into which the creek to Orion Waterfall flows. The river tracing isn't escpecially difficult; just go along the river and you'll eventually get there. If you want to go further up, there is a very sketchy thin rope set up by local hunters on the right side(facing downs ... treams) near Yasheng Waterfall, and you will need technical equipment for going up and back down. 2 days are suggested for a further exploration to trace more upstreams. It is possible to combine Yasheng Waterfall and Orion Waterfall in one day.

A fun river trace. The water flow is high and there are quite a few pools along the creek. The ending GPS spot is a beautiful canyon behind a natural slide. The water is not recommended for drinking because trash is dumped along the road to the ravine to the creek.
