Rope Climbing Trail

At noon time about three or five friends to go to the seven holes waterfalls, the beginning of the road is flat, the road surface is dirt + gravel road, there is a little slippery walk up to pay attention to some of the light spots on the ground know that the forest is quite dense! Don’t be afraid of the sun.

After a short walk, we started to climb the mountainside. Since this trip was temporary, my clothes were not suitable for this place.

Some parts of the area have low branches, and every time I walk along this kind of place, I am afraid of having a snake hanging over my head… It is a bit tiring to look up at the trees and down at the road at the same time, but it is a good experience to get away from the city and relieves stress at the same time!

I climbed about 70% of the way up, until my partner’s pants had a huge hole in them, so I had no choice but to wear jeans for the climb, which was basically a tragedy, and a lot of places required big strides.

The smooth rock wall below is the most troublesome for those of us who have slippery shoes ~ although there are ropes to pull, but the force applied will be a bit more, plus I brought two cameras with me, so I was afraid of bumping into the camera! I really need to put it into my backpack for protection on some parts of the trail.

Occasionally, I had to cross a small stream, but it wasn’t too difficult, I could step on the water and pass through, but I was wearing white canvas shoes… I really didn’t want to get wet. I really didn’t want to get wet, so I was lucky to have a companion as a handrail to let me pass slowly, and I really didn’t get wet on the way back.

One of the traveling companions is from Hengchun, he said that the former Seven Hole Waterfall is very easy to walk, although you also have to climb the rope, but relatively flat, after many typhoon damage the terrain has become relatively complex, in exchange for a more primitive natural landscape.

Waterfall Pool

The whole climbing route is along the stream upward, on the way, from time to time will encounter large and small waterfalls, the forest birds chirping with the sound of waterfalls, the whole very healing!

The sunshine, streams, and jungles in the forest were the most enjoyable images of my trip. Since I was traveling with a group of people, I couldn’t stay as long as I wanted, so I hardly composed the photos, but I found that I was satisfied after finishing them at home! This is the charm of nature.

The natural pools here are not big (the waterfall is also small), a pool is only about 1~3 people’s space, because in front of the pool is a small waterfall, so it’s like an infinity pool ¡V accompanied by the cool shade of the trees, it must be very comfortable to soak (on that day, I could only watch the other tourists to soak).

Besides being careful of the slippery rocks, I found that there are a lot of cockroach-like bugs on the water’s edge, but I’m not worried that they are more afraid of you, and will automatically hide in a place where you can’t see them when you try to pass them with your feet or hands!

This is the biggest pool you will see that day.

Along the rope can climb through a circle, downhill route is relatively flat a lot of that day did not pay attention to, has been climbing up, climbed to the place where there is no rope alarmed by the wrong, and later found that is along the rope on the right, just can be rounded down the mountain, the impression that we probably spend one and a half hours to walk through the road is not too long.
