Maolin is back (almost)...

Forum rules
When posting, especially when starting a new thread, please use a title that explains your post or thread, e.g. don't put "Help please!" when you could put "Where can I find a camp site near Kending?"

Please check your spelling, because someone may do a text search for your information, e.g. if someone searches for information on Xizhi and you have spelled it She Jher, they won't find it. Someone spelled camping as "campin" without a g at the end - again, it can't be found by a text search. For place names in Taiwan, please try to use Hanyu Pinyin as default, as that is the spelling most people know.

Please place links in your posts to sources of information. If you don't know how to hotlink text, click on the BBCode tips link in my signature to find out.

If you find a thread that is so hopelessly out of date that it couldn't be of use to anyone, please send the moderator a private message (with the URL of the thread)

If you spot two or more threads that you think could be merged, again, alert the moderator

Great map and photos, Abacus! Thanks for the information. I rented a motorcycle last summer and rode to Maolin, wandered around to see what I could see and absolutely loved it. When I got caught in rainfall in Duona, a nice couple selling drinks and binlang invited me to wait out the storm with them on the porch. We had a great chat and they wouldn't let me leave without sharing a delicious bag of plums and providing me some plastic bags to cover my backpack.

I also happened upon the De'en Gorge Waterfall and Guesthouse. They showed me around their beautiful property and told me a little bit of history of the area. They were so genuine and hospitable, I really felt like I was their friend rather than a potential customer. Hope to get my brothers to visit Taiwan with me and we'll go stay a night or two there.
