Bruwan, meaning “echo,” which used to be a tribal village of the Sedek aborigines, has attracted more attention in recent years. It is 9 km from the entrance of Tarako, 180 km from the eastern end of Central Cross-Island Highway, and 2 km from a fork located beside the bank of the Liwu River.



Leaning against the Tower Mountain in the south, facing the Liwu River in the north, and situated on a double-layer plateau, Bruwan abounds with natural resources, where you can see various vegetations of monsoon rain forest such as Bishopwood, Lindera megaphylla, Machilus kusanoi, and local ficus trees. There are also plenty of wild animals which make possible such activities as watching birds, butterflies, flying squirrels, and Formosan rock-monkeys. The village is a world of its own with the plateau surrounded by green mountains. Life switches to a lower gear on arriving here. As swallows and cicadas chirp in the background, with a few clouds floating in the sunny sky, the natives here are almost living in a paradise.

Bruwan has been cultivating wild lilies for over five years. The yearly lily season fills the gorge of Taroko with a charming sensation of spring.Bruwan is currently divided into upper and lower parts. The lower portion is the Tourist Center of Taroko National Park, while our hotel is at the upper part.
