23.32947,121.23709The ending GPS spot is Nan'an hot spring, incredibly close to Walami trailhead. However, Lele River's currents are usually so strong that only professional teams are suggested to visit there. The hot spring water is 47 degrees Celcius and a proper pool for 4-6 people can be built. The path from paved road to the river is along the ridge and find the ... right way down. -

25.02717196980174, 121.76367667651827Huiyao Creek is busy with visitors and the people for barbecue on weekends in summer. The creek has several spots worth visiting: Huiyao Waterfall(灰窯瀑布), Wanbaodong Waterfall(萬寶洞瀑布), a natual swimming pool, and a giant pool. It is a creek friendly for beginners. The creek has a tiny basin, and thus the water flow is usually little. If you want just ... to visit Huiyao Waterfall or the giant pool, you can access to them from the road by them, instead of river tracing all the way up from the start.

(23.341685,121.222860) The water flow in Lele River is as strong as it is in Jianianduan, so this river trace is definitely an expert's route rather than a beginner's one. The outcrop is 58 degrees Celsius, but a pool for at most two people is o ... nly possible with a very big tarp and great effort for half a day, probably not the best wild hot spring in the world, or far from it. There is another pool in the sand with slightly warm hot spring water, one hundred meters from Kakalang's main outcrop--so little warm that it is even kind of chilling on a winter day.
