Buluowan Recreation Area
布洛灣台地
Former Taroko villages on two levels of river terraces above the Liwu River. Visitors can learn about Indigenous culture and look out over the gorge.
Buluowan means "echo" in the Taroko language. It refers to a two-level river terrace beside the Liwu River, which was once home to a Taroko village. The lower terrace has exhibits and a craft house showcasing Taroko culture, and the upper terrace has Shanyue Village lodging, with views of the Liwu River gorge and the mountains. It is about 9 km from the Taroko Visitor Center and is reachable by bus. After the April 2024 Hualien earthquake, several trails and sections of Taroko Gorge were closed or open only at limited times. Be sure to check the latest announcements from the Taroko National Park Headquarters before you go.
Opening hours
Approx. 08:30–16:30 (per announcements)
