Xiu Guiluan River Rafting Center Introduction
The Xiuguluan River features thrilling rapids and breathtaking canyons filled with unique rock formations, making it a paradise for rafting enthusiasts. Within just about 22 kilometers of river, there are 23 rapids, attracting visitors who can't help but linger. The entire rafting experience takes approximately four hours, and after navigating the most challenging rapid at Li Ya Jin, rafters usually take a break at the Qimei Rest Station, concluding their adventure at the Changhong Bridge. Originating from the Central Mountain Range's Luntian Mountain, the Xiuguluan River flows northward, gathering tributaries like the Qing Shui River, the Tabira River, the Red Maple River, and the Fu Yuan River, eventually reaching the Pacific Ocean at Ruisui. The old name "Shuiwei" for Ruisui comes from this river. The visitor center is located next to the Ruisui Bridge and is designed to resemble traditional indigenous architecture, featuring a large white indigenous totem in the front square. Upon entering the center's service desk, you can find an informative sign above that details the rafting routes and important points to note. If you'd like to learn more about the rafting process, there is a three-dimensional model of the whole rafting journey and exciting photos available on the other side of the hall for your enjoyment. Notably, the camping area favored by RV families is located on the west side of the rafting center, equipped with comprehensive facilities, including roofed wooden camping spots, bathroom facilities, cooking stations, picnic tables and chairs, activity squares, and parking lots.
