24.90694,121.85342 The creek is short, but the trek took us more time than expected. We planned to finish it in about 2 hours, but surprisingly, it took 4 hours. The creek is full of shrimp, and we spent quite a bit of time watching them. There was also some climbing along the creek. We encountered the first small waterfall/obstacle just dozens of meters from where we
... entered the water. It was about 3 meters high. I carefully climbed up and found a rope lying at the top, which then I threw down for the others. The rope seemed to have been there for over a decade. Climbing down would have been nearly impossible without it.
Then, we entered a small gorge with a large boulder blocking the creek, forming a very small waterfall about 2.5 meters high, just barely qualifying as one. This "waterfall" pool was the only spot where we could fully soak ourselves. After about 50 minutes of tracing the creek, we reached the main waterfall. It was in the right fork, and there was a massive landslide just 10 meters away from it. The strong flow of water poured down from this 10-meter waterfall (but keep in mind, this was a week after a typhoon). We took pictures, enjoyed the natural spa, and had our lunch there.
We did this trace a week after a typhoon and the water flow was satisfying. I can imagine how dry the creek could be during a dry period. In general, creeks in Toucheng are often a good choice after heavy rain.
24.48479,121.7878 You will pass water facility at the beginning of the trail. Then you need to climb up along the river for a while. The creek has only several small waterfalls ranging 3-5 meters.
22.753066, 120.754527 Really beautiful canyon with a view of the mountains around it visible nearly the whole time. We went during the dry season and the first 20 minutes or more of the trace actually had no water. However, once we got further up there were nice pools and areas of flowing water. On top of this, the final waterfall was great and had some nice spots on the
... side to climb up on the rocks if that's your jam.
Quite a few people's cars' tire get stabbed here when they are off to river trace or hike, especially in peak seasons. The best way to prevent this is probably use the local's serice.
23.99786, 121.03935 You need to go through thick silver grass to get to the main river. The three small waterfalls are near the fork. There is a trail by the river on the left side(facing downstream). Nothing special after the three waterfalls. A 1-hour river trace.
24.85745701317228, 121.5624583307028 This is a very simple trace just south of the town in Wulai. The starting point is behind the blue pieces of sheet metal along the road, and there is a path behind them that leads to the the stream. It would be best for you to start here instead of by the elementary school because it is very easy to miss the exit. Depending on the water level, this
...trace can be categorized as easy to medium. Along the trace there are numerous pools to swim in.
