General information
The creek is the source of hot spring water for the campsites in Chunyang(春陽部落) Tribe. Much part of the water temperature in the river is a little warm around 33~36 degree. It doesn't give you the enjoyable experience in a real natural hot spring, but you don't feel cold when being in the pools in this creek. The creeks have several big warm pools where you can jump, a nice tiny valley, and 2 waterfalls. The creek looks ugly and disappointing because there are thousands of abandoned hot spring water pipes left in the creek, and the local doesn't seem to bother to clean them up at all. It has the vibe of post-apocalypse sci-fi movies like ruined cities in Matrix or Blade Runner 2049.
