How do you plan and execute a “green” trip? Selecting environmentally friendly destinations is the first step to creating an eco-friendly trip! Taitung boasts natural environments with rich natural resources. Come to Taitung and enjoy slow tourism including everything from hikes to swims all in one go! Are you looking to experience the tranquil forests? River tracing in Luliao River is a perfect match! Luliao River is a tributary of the Beinan River located on the Southeastern side of Taiwan, spread over the mid- to northern parts of Taitung County. Visit Wuling Village of Yanping Township and start your trip off at the Bunun traditional hunting area, Salinhaul before you head upstream and begin your adventure.

Luliao River is in a mellow valley, with a couple of deep pools along the path which add to the fun and challenge of the watercourse. Luliao River has many developed riverine potholes that house rich ecosystems. Look carefully at the clear streams and you can spot Taiwan shovel jaw carp. If you’re lucky, look up and you’ll see Ardea alba or common nightingale gliding through the blue skies. Once you pass Shigong Tan, the Luliao River starts to pick up speed and you’ll encounter lots of drops and waterfalls. Once you’ve reached the waterfall area, you can enjoy a fun float on the water. Lean back and enjoy the greenery against the blue skies where all your troubles will be washed away by the surrounding nature.
