— Attractions Introduction —

The canoeing experience in the valley stream is a must-do in Hualien. Let's start from the Jianying Bridge in the middle of Hualien River... Go downstream, cooperate with your friends, paddle on the clear river surface, and enjoy the scenery along the way. The river valley scenery, where you can occasionally see flocks of birds flying by, is a far cry from the work pressure and technological indifference of the city; passing through several rapids stimulates your adrenaline, and capsizing the boat is also fun! In the gentle area, you can enjoy the chirping of insects and birds, take a nap, and feel the breeze blowing across your cheeks, taking away the heat of the sun. You can also soak in the cool river water to wash away your fatigue. From winter to late spring, you can enjoy the river valley. You can take the most beautiful photos by the spectacular Miscanthus bushes beside you, and in summer you can quench your thirst by looking at the watermelon fields. When the journey is over, go buy a glass of watermelon juice! The canoe trip along the valley stream is less prone to seasickness and welcomes friends of all ages over 6 years old. The activity is not limited to any season, so you can play whenever you want all year round!
