Below: Our day started with a bus ride to the Pingxi Branch Line, a rickety old railroad formerly used by coal miners.
The trail through the jungle took us about five hours. Waterfall #1:
A bridge that was fun to jump on:
Waterfall #2:
Exploring behind the waterfall in "Gollum's Lair":
Some parts of the trail were rather steep, and we got to use ropes and chains!
Waterfall #3:
After a few hours we came to a road that we followed back to the next town. The views from the top were gorgeous.
Hiking on the road was more dangerous than we anticipated. Earthquake!!! :)
We found a yummy snack on the side of the road.
Overall, it was one of our favorite hikes so far in Taiwan.

Boysenberry 桑葚 is what the berry called. Truth church used to have a boysenberry tree. Glad that you had a great hiking trip. :)
