Founder of Trace Taiwan.
Most of the Traces you can find attached to my profile will be located fairly close to Taipei. Many of these can be completed in a single day if your willing to get up early.
24.468228, 121.752980 We went on the weekend and this place was CROWDED. Now it's a really beautiful river, but the number of people there during prime time ruins it. Or almost ruins it, the waterfall at the end (which most people don't go to) is well worth it regardless. My only suggestion would be to go mid-week if you have the chance. If not, still go, but expect to s
...ee a lot of people. The river is wide and there is always an easy route if you want to find one. There are a few places you can make it a bit more challenging but that's up to you.
24.717189, 121.346930 Really great trace, one of my favourites that I have been able to visit in Northern Taiwan. The water is clean, and the entire area feels quite natural (sans the very start where people hang out).
The GPS should take you to a bridge. You will be able to get down and start the trace via a path on the right-hand side of the bridge. In the very first
... area, it's possible you will run into people. Once you climb the ropes along the side to pass the first waterfall you should have the place almost entirely to yourself.
You may run into various waterfalls that seem impassable, there is generally a trail located somewhere around them that will take you up and over them.
