1. This trace does not include the famous Yunei Slide (這裡不是宇內溪滑水道). The slide on this route is different from the well-known one. It can be confusing because both slides are in the same creek, but they are far apart, making it unlikely to visit both in a single trace. (The famous one: 24.790678871183513, 121.39577197890424)
2.!The GPS pin of White V
...
eil Waterfall on Google Map is WRONG! The correct one is the one on our ending GPS.
3.Baisha Waterfall/White Veil Waterfall (白紗瀑布) is a serene and beautiful waterfall, standing at approximately 40 meters tall, with a large
pool perfect for swimming. Above it, you can find Hewei Waterfall (赫威瀑布); to reach it, walk around on the left side. Further up, you can access the Hewei Divine Tree Area.
4.To embark on this river trace, it is safest to obtain the permit 5-60 days in advance from Chatianshan Nature Reserve (插天山保護區). The trailhead starts through a private farm residence called "Kapu No.17" (卡普17號). The parking fee at the residence should be around 100 NTD. Once you pay for your parking, the owner probably wouldn't bother to check if you have the permit.
5.To get to White Veil Waterfall, walk down the farm, and you'll reach a small stream soon. Cross the stream, and you'll find a hiking trail. The trail first goes around the mountainside, then stretches along the creek and eventually touches the creek. On the lateral part, the trail sometimes goes by the creek and sometimes merges in the creek. Finally, the trail completely disappears, and you can only river trace in the creek to the waterfall.
6.The creek is VERY SLIPPERY. Be extremely cautious while walking in the river.
7. Water Slide Location: 24.789783, 121.420900
Be very careful with this water slide. It is extremely slipper. Make sure to clear your path before you slide. I almost fucked myself up on a big sharp rock in the water but miraculously only got a scratch.

A really nice trace within a day trip from Taipei if you wake up early. This is within my top 3-day trip traces from Taipei I would say. The first 20 mins or so isn't anything special, however, once you climb over around the "man-made waterfall" it gets gorgeous quite quickly. There are tons of waterfalls, clean water, great landscapes, cliff faces
...
to the side of you, and you really do feel "in the wild".
You will at a certain point reach a fork, we stayed to the right at the fork and continued on till the end. If you wanted you could try left though I am unsure what you will find.
At the very end if it has been raining you will find one massive final waterfall. From there you are going to need to backtrack to around the waterslide. From the waterslide, there should be a trail on your left-hand side you can use to get out.
