Amazed at how different the river looks with all the rushing water

A most picture perfect day

Making our way upstream

The Dongshan Waterfall (東山瀑布) is located off the main river

Tracing up to the falls
Typhoon In-fa veered north and never made landfall in Taiwan. It did bring a ton of much needed rain to the island. 

Sunday was blistering hot so my friend and I set off to the river in search of a waterfall that is said to be there after heavy rain. 

The river was full and the water was rushing making it intimidating at times. We slowly traced our way upstream and found the falls. While not the prettiest or biggest of falls, it was nice to see that they do actually exist.

The old bridge that we came across a couple of weekends ago with a lot more water

One of my favorite hikes in the Neihu area

These trees are also some of my favorite in the area

A most perfect way to start the day

Took a few new side trails to make a most perfect loop

A very early morning hike on some trails in Neihu (內湖)

GoPro8 is in the shop so I used my old GoPro5 for this hike ... not bad!

Enjoying the early morning light and that there is not a single person around

Hoping to finish my hike before the heat of the day arrives

A lot of pretty views as we wandered upstream

We came across an old bridge

Couldn't have asked for better weather

Walking past the old bridge

Just another Saturday spent floating in the river

We decided to take a walk upstream to explore and get some exercise

Not much water in the river

Taiwan is doing a most excellent job in beating Covid

Back at the river for some fun under the sun!

Lots of jumping and splashing going on today!

Also lots of soaking and relaxing!
