Trace Taiwan
River:
石門溪 / Shimen creekArea:
YilanRegion:
EastStart:
24.95185,121.91021Easy and nice. It has several clean nice pools. Many butterflies and shrimp. There's a 4 meter waterfall at 24.96,121.9085 that you need to climb over. At the end of the trace is a 8-meter waterfall. If you go above the 8-meter waterfall, two really tall waterfalls are around the corner. The one on the main stream is around 20-25 meters tall, and ... the other one on the left fork is also around that height. We went around the waterfall on the right side(facing downstream) and did a little bushwhack, but it was quite easy in general. There's webbing and a rope on the other side but it looked very sketchy to climb up, so we didn't go up on the left side(facing downstream). -

River:
鹿皮溪 / Lupi riverArea:
YilanRegion:
EastStart:
24.46832,121.75317Short, beautiful, fun and somehow challanging. The river is always crowded on holidays in summer due to many commercial groups and visitors. First big waterfall pool is good to swim(but be careful or avoid it when the current is too strong). The river has several natural slides. You can jump into water at the first big waterfall or the pool at a val ... ley which is just more upstream to the first waterfall. (Always check the depth of water before jumping!) No public transportation. You need to take a taxi from Nan'ao Train Station or drive a car or a scooter to here. -

River:
楓溪 / Maple creekArea:
YilanRegion:
EastStart:
24.505916, 121.763332This is a quick and fun trace. Lots of pools to swim in and a wonderful waterfall at the top. It is less popular than some of the more commercial routes in the area so it's a good one to visit if you want to avoid crowds.
