Ruisui Rafting Service Center Introduction
The Xiuguluan River Visitor Center is currently under reconstruction. The massive totem pole landmark has developed cracks over the years due to earthquakes and has been dismantled. When it comes to water activities in the Hualien-Taitung area, the most well-known and thrilling is undoubtedly "Xiuguluan River Rafting." In the 1980s, Xiuguluan River became the top choice for rafting activities in Taiwan. During the summer rafting season, from the Ruizhui Bridge to the Changhong Bridge, the entire 24-kilometer rafting stretch is adorned by vibrant red inflatable boats, creating a stunning scene along the river. With over 20 rapids and challenging spots of varying difficulty, rafting here offers visitors an unforgettable experience filled with thrills and excitement. The natural beauty along the river, including canyons and unique rock formations, leaves a lasting impression on rafting enthusiasts. Along the riverbank, the Ruigang Highway sees countless vans shuttling back and forth, transporting guests between the two areas. The East Coast National Scenic Area Administration has established the Ruizhuo Rafting Service Center by the Xiuguluan River, south of the Ruizhui Bridge. This service center, designed to resemble traditional indigenous architecture, provides information about the ecological resources of the Xiuguluan River rafting stretch, offers rafting-related information to visitors, screens safety videos, and features a camping area. During the rafting season, it ensures the best services for visitors.
