We will start at Linmei Shipan Trail
This place is rarely known by non-residents, but it could provide you a chance to get close to dear nature in 1.5 hours hiking. Although the trail would not cover any stunning and fascinating geological landscape, instead hikers could project themselves into the song of chirping birds and babbling brook. The wooden walkway in absent of lamppost and throng leads coming hikers away from modernized civilization and to the embrace of mother nature - trees grown in the wood, waterfalls pounding on the river, rocks resting along the stream. While walking on this trail, the stress living in a concrete jungle seems to be released as well. (Detail by http://www.rtaiwanr.com/yilan/linmei-shipan-trail

Second visit the Yuemeikang waterfall in Yilan is the perfect destination for a hike during a boiling hot Sunday in June, as the only way to it involves a short but fun wade up the stream through the narrow gorge below the falls, and with three (yes three!) pools below the falls that are deep enough for a swim, it never fails to enchant me.

Third Visit Sacred Heart Church
The track had wound up the hillside to the day’s first unexpected sight: the large and striking Catholic Church of the Sacred Heart, faintly reminiscent in general design of Beijing’s Temple of Heaven, standing in the shadow of the uppermost fall at Wufengchi, which could be seen hurtling over the brink into the gorge behind the church
Fourth Visit
Wufengchi Waterfalls: Plunging a combined total of one hundred meters, the three Waterfalls are one of Yilian Country's star attractions. The first(lowest) fall is quite small, but just above it, the second fall makes an impressive plunge of 25 meters, and the third one plunge 40 meters surrounded by an amphitheater of sheer cliffs, is quite spectacular, and probably the most impressive sight on the whole hike.
