River Tracing

River tracing was originally only a part of mountaineering activities. In the process of climbing, it is necessary to overcome the terrain of mountains and streams to reach one’s destination. Due of the unique skills of river tracing, as well as the excitement of wading adventures, it has become an increasingly popular sport independently among other activities. The popular season for river tracing is in the summer. You can enjoy the coolness of the mountain streams in the hot weather. The water flowing in the streams in Taitung is crystal clear.
