River:
半屏溪 / Bàn píng xīArea:
KeelungRegion:
NorthStart:
25.12228, 121.87934Also known as Dagui Waterfall (大鬼瀑布), the destination waterfall and pool. Most people stop here, though it is passable - quite treacherous if there is no rope. There is an extremely tall waterfall much further past this. There are trails on the west side you can take to return (passing abandoned buildings) if you don't want to return in the water, t ... hough you will have to drop back into the concrete trough at the end to get out. Often has better weather in early summer than Yangmingshan and Wulai.

NorthStart:
24.79561, 121.49320Strenuous but worth it! There is a split at 0.67km where you can go left or right. Explore both! Left is easier and right is harder, and may include steep climbs requiring a rope. There are sections where you can escape the canyon via dirt paths, and others with vertical walls on both sides. Not a place you want to be in a rain storm. If you find th ... e trail back to the start, it comes out in someone's property with a locked gate; drop back down to the creek when you can.

25.16943, 121.62079Quite 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.
