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.

A giant pool that is 50 meters long is not far from the trailhead. The pool was caused by a landslide and has been here for few years(now: 8.8.2022). Upstreams, the creek turns wide after the gorge next to the pool, and there aren't any significant waterfalls nearby.

This Maple Creek is the one in Nan'ao-Heping area, not in Nan'ao town where Nan'ao River is. There are four waterfalls in this trace, and the first three of them have a route to go around. Quite a few pools can be found, and all of the waterfalls have a pool.

Heliu Creek is a beautiful creek with countless pools and is a must for river tracers. The pools are pristine and emerald, and many of which are able to be jumped into. Quite a few pools have waterslides, and an abundance of natural bouldering walls can be found along the creek. Near the end of the trace is a 6-meter waterfall and its huge pool. Aft ... er the waterfall is there a short gorge that connects to the Ending GPS on this post. The creek intersects with Nan'ao Old Trail, and it takes 1 hour from the trailhead to the river. Parking spaces are around the trailhead. Heliu Waterfall (12M): 24.42974,121.69213
