Burloan Recreation Area Introduction
Buluowan Terrace is a large double-layer river terrace located downstream of the Liwu River. In the Taroko language, it means "echo of the canyon." This terrace was once home to the Taroko indigenous peoples. Today, the Taroko National Park Management Office has established a management station here, planning it as an indigenous cultural park. Buluowan is divided into upper and lower terraces, with a height difference of 30 meters; the lower terrace sits at an elevation of approximately 370 meters, where the management station is located, providing visitors with explanatory consultations 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 is the Taroko Indigenous Crafts Exhibition Hall, showcasing exquisite works of weaving and rattan weaving by the Taroko people. Walking from the lower terrace to the Huanliu Hill Park offers panoramic views of the riverbank and the canyon scenery. The upper terrace is managed by an external operator and planned as an accommodation and training center, featuring suites, a conference center, and dining services. Due to the tropical monsoon rainforest ecological environment and the terrain of Huanliu Hill and river terraces, the park management office has also extensively planted native species of Taiwan lilies here. Every April, when the wild lilies are in full bloom, their graceful and fragrant presence swaying in the breeze captivates all who encounter them.
