About this experience
Along the amazing Pacific Coast of Hualien, a local quodis arcana is hidden nearby in Yanliao, a local fishing port, where the untraversed Angelic Stream is situated. The crystal clear water of the stream gurgles and keeps its ecological characteristics with the old forest. You will totally get relief from the summer heat while trekking in the forest and the canyon. Along the way, the ice-cool stream and eye popping ecological abundance make it one of the most suitable family-bonding aqua activities in Taiwan.
While the water flow of river-tracing is bigger and more urgent which makes the difficulties of the tour increased, the water flow of stream-trekking is smaller and gentler, it’s extremely suitable for the whole family to have fun together.
