Bulowan Recreation Area Introduction
Bulowan Terrace is a large dual-layer river terrace located downstream of the Liwu River. In the Taroko language, it means "echo of the canyon." This terrace was once a settlement of the Taroko Indigenous people. Currently, the Taroko National Park Headquarters has established a management station here and has planned it as an area showcasing indigenous culture. The Bulowan Terrace is divided into upper and lower terraces, with a height difference of 30 meters. The lower terrace is approximately 370 meters above sea level, where the management station is located, providing visitors with interpretive services and recreational information, as well as screening multimedia programs that introduce the development of the Taroko area and the cultural history of the Atayal people. On the left side, the Taroko Indigenous Craft Exhibition Hall displays exquisite works from the Taroko people's weaving and rattan weaving skills. Walking from the lower terrace to the Huanliu Hill Park offers a view of the riverbank and the canyon scenery. The upper terrace, on the other hand, is managed by an external operator and is planned as an accommodation and study center, featuring suites, a conference center, and dining service center. Due to the tropical monsoon rainforest ecological environment and the terrace terrain of Huanliu Hill, the park management has planted a large number of native Taiwan lilies here. Every April, during the blooming season of wild lilies, their swaying figure in the wind and elegant fragrance captivate visitors.
