Leading river traces regularly on my Meetup or Instagram 12 seasons a year.

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
