Trip Description
Gan Bai Stream is a medium-sized stream. It has a number of small water pools for taking away your body heat. Like its cousins in Castle Peak area, the stream is wide with sand lining. The water there is pretty clean but the water would become very murky after rain because of the sandy nature of that area. Since it was within the range of firing excerise, hikers usually find empty bomb shells. Some of them are not empty and may still be dangerous. One word of caution: don't touch the weird bomb-like metal objects.
