Wulai Jiajiuliao River Tracing

๐ŸŒซ River Tracing Worthit!
๐Ÿ“ Jia Jiu Liao, Wulai, New Taipei, Taiwan


River tracing has been a popular sport in Taiwan. The activity allows you to venture into the untouched territory by following a river up the side of the mountain while wading through small rapids and climbing over rocks and other obstacles. โ›ฐ

Jiajiuliao Creek is a tributary located beside the Wulai Red River Valley. The special terrain of the canyon has created natural sand dams, rapids, deep pools and small waterfalls. The canyon’s surrounding rich ecology is absolutely the place to experience the most precious environment of Taiwan’s valleys! ๐Ÿ’ง


Around 15 mins drive not far away from Taipei Xindian MRT station, once you passed this iconic red bridge (ๅŠ ไนๅฏฎๆ™ฏ่ง€ๅคงๆฉ‹), you’ll soon be seeing the starting point of the river tracing adventure! ๐Ÿš—


Start by walking through the sideway of the abandoned chemical buckets. (starting point: ็พŽ้นฟๅฑฑๆญฅ้“)




โš  Stuffs to be prepared โš 
We recommend preparing an airtight dry bag and filling it with cameras, towels, drinking water, and other essentials such as food or phones.๐ŸŽ’
It’s essential to wear the right type of shoes such as river-tracing boots (wetsuit boots).๐Ÿ‘ข
Make sure you get the right boots otherwise it could be really dangerous to walk on the slippery stones. Alternatively, you can wear bigger-sized socks outside your shoes.๐Ÿงฆ
Clothing depends on the weather; wetsuits will be ideal. Lifejackets and helmets are helpful tools too.๐Ÿช–
It is highly recommended to wear the helmets at all times due to the potential landslides or falling rocks from aside.โ›‘

River tracing boots, helmets, and life vests are cheap to rent and are highly recommended!!
Climbing harness, ropes and Locking carabiner are for the more advanced trips.



The best pose when you slide down the slides: arms open and relax!!


What a smooth waterslide!๐Ÿ’ฆ


Unfortunately, we arrived on a rainy day, and the natural rock waterslide of the main swimming hole is too dangerous to play on.


The waterslide became a vigorous waterfall.๐ŸŒŠ


A nice cuppa soup is a nice lunch! ๐Ÿฒ


Make sure you look up from time to time! Except for snakes that you might encounter in the river, there could be millipedes on the trunks as well ๐Ÿ›!


The sun eventually came out after our 4-hour river tracing trip… better than no sun at all!๐ŸŒž
