Stretching some 22–24 km between Ruisui Bridge and Changhong Bridge, the adventure unfolds over 3–4 hours and drops about 65 metres through more than 20 thrilling rapids. It’s the longest river in eastern Taiwan, and its gorge is the ultimate playground for whitewater lovers. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
No experience? No problem. Professional guides lead the way with bullet‑proof instruction, and safety gear tops you off with peace of mind. Upgraded rafts make the ride smoother—even when you’re flying over choppy water, you’ll feel steadier than you expect. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
Seasoned rafters or first‑timers alike will marvel at the white, jade‑like boulders strewn across crystal pools, the dramatic mille‑feuille canyon walls, and the cusp of indigenous culture visible along the banks. It’s nature, culture, and adrenaline all rolled into one. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
