River:
美崙溪 / Meilun riverArea:
HualienRegion:
EastStart:
24.01543,121.54377Yasheng Waterfall(24.03165,121.54109) is in the mainstream of Meilun North Creek, into which the creek to Orion Waterfall flows. The river tracing isn't escpecially difficult; just go along the river and you'll eventually get there. If you want to go further up, there is a very sketchy thin rope set up by local hunters on the right side(facing downs ... treams) near Yasheng Waterfall, and you will need technical equipment for going up and back down. 2 days are suggested for a further exploration to trace more upstreams. It is possible to combine Yasheng Waterfall and Orion Waterfall in one day. -

24.680089048830563, 121.25003255563297A fun river trace. The water flow is high and there are quite a few pools along the creek. The ending GPS spot is a beautiful canyon behind a natural slide. The water is not recommended for drinking because trash is dumped along the road to the ravine to the creek. -

TaoyuanRegion:
NorthStart:
24.674655430897328, 121.40453420589915A giant pool that is 50 meters long is not far from the trailhead. The pool was caused by a landslide and has been here for few years(now: 8.8.2022). Upstreams, the creek turns wide after the gorge next to the pool, and there aren't any significant waterfalls nearby.
