Xiuguluan River Rafting Center Introduction
The Xiuguluan River features thrilling rapids and majestic canyons with unique rock formations, making it a paradise for rafting. In just about 22 kilometers of waterway, there are 23 rapids, captivating every visitor who comes to experience the adventure. The entire rafting process takes approximately four hours, and after navigating the most exciting Liya Tsun rapids, visitors usually take a break at the Chihmei Rest Station before concluding their journey at the Changhong Bridge. Originating from the Central Mountain Range's Lun Tianshan, the Xiuguluan River flows from south to north, gathering waters from rivers such as the Qing Shui River, Tabira River, Hongye River, and Fuyuan River, converging in Ruisui and flowing toward the Pacific Ocean. The old name of Ruisui, "Shuiwei," comes from this. The Visitor Center, located next to the Ruisui Bridge, resembles traditional indigenous architecture, with a large white indigenous totem in front of the plaza. Upon entering the service desk, you can find interpretive signs above that provide information about the rafting routes and important notes to consider. If you want to learn more about the rafting process, there's a three-dimensional model of the entire rafting route and wonderful photos on the other side of the hall for you to enjoy. Notably, the camping area popular with RV families is located on the west side of the rafting center. This campsite is well-equipped, featuring roofed wooden camping sites, bathroom facilities, cooking areas, picnic tables and chairs, an activity plaza, and a parking area.
