Xiuguluan River Rafting Center Introduction
The Xiuguluan River is a paradise for rafting enthusiasts, boasting magnificent gorges and piled strange rocks, with rapids at every turn. In just about 22 kilometers of waterway, there are 23 rapids that keep visitors coming back for more. The entire rafting experience lasts approximately four hours, and after navigating the thrilling Liyazijin rapid, the typical stopover is at Qimei Rest Station for a brief rest; it concludes perfectly at Changhong Bridge. Originating from the Central Mountain Range's Luntian Mountain, the Xiuguluan River flows northward, gathering tributaries like the Qingshui River, Tabira River, Hongye River, and Fuyuan River along the way. It converges in Ruisui and flows towards the Pacific Ocean, with Ruisui's former name "Shuiwei" deriving from this. The Visitor Center is located next to the Ruisui Bridge, designed to resemble traditional indigenous architecture, featuring a large white indigenous totem in the square. Upon entering the service desk of the center, visitors can view the informative signboards above to learn about the rafting routes and important safety tips. On the other side of the lobby, there is a three-dimensional model of the entire rafting journey along with stunning photographs for your appreciation. Notably, the camping area favored by the RV community is located to the west of the rafting center. This campsite is well-equipped, offering wooden cabins with roofs, bathroom facilities, cooking areas, picnic tables and chairs, recreational spaces, and parking.
