2-3 hours
The usual: flashfloods, falling rocks, snakes, stinging things (wasps, spiders, caterpillars, nettles, etc)
The usual: helmet, tracing booties, waterproof bag, PFD, quick-dry synthetic clothes, food and water
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. I made a spreadsheet of the best river traces in northern Taiwan, check it out here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15QNhE9z3lhwz33C6V4P11dljPzWafFGKowzTi9Wrkjg
