24.79533482263228, 121.49324141707244The creek has a bunch of small waterfalls to climb up if you go far enough. The right fork is much more fun than the left one(24.79661,121.48774). -
River:
萬里溪 / Wanli riverArea:

EastStart:
23.72487,121.36979This tributary is by Wanrong Hot Spring (NOT Molishaka), also called Yuanyanggu Hot Spring, and thus has a lot of outcrops popping out of the valley and creating special colorful walls, and a tiny hot spring pool can be found on the way. The distance of this river trace is short yet somehow challenging, which involves a few techniques such as boosti ... ng, climbing, swimming across pools, and a short rappelling on the way back. The gorge in the end has the vibes of Lisong Hot Spring, but there is not a hot spring pool. There are a 6 meters waterfall, which is difficult to trace up, and an emerald pool by a colorful wall. After the waterfall are 2 much taller waterfalls with one of them being 20 meters tall. This creek is advised to be visited only in dry seasons, when the main river, Wanli River, is much less likely to flood than in summer, when the rainy season is, and it takes several days for the water level to descend after each medium rain, not to mention frequent and violent afternoon downpours in summer. -

23.99786, 121.03935You 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.
