Buluowan is a two layered fluvial terrace， downstream along Liwu River. In the Taroko tribe language， "Buluowan" means "Echos of the Canyon". This terrace was formerly inhabited by the Taroko tribe and isnow a service station of Taroko National Park. It will become a park dedicated to commemorate the aboriginal Taroko people.Buluowan can be divided into two distinct parts: The upper and lower terrace. There is a 30 meter height difference between the two levels， with the lower one being about 370 meters above sea level， and is where the Service Station located. The office provides tourist services and information， including multimedia demonstrations of the development and history of the Atayal tribe. On the left of the management district there is a Taroko handicraft museum displaying Taroko fabric， baskets， and other traditional crafts. Walking down from the lower terrace， you arrive at Meander Core Park， from which you can view the entire river valley and canyon. The upper terrace was developed as a residential area and research center， where hotels， restaurants， and convention facilities are provided. Buluowan is a seasonally tropical rain forest， and the geography has been formed into meander core and a fluvial terrace by the movement of Liwu River. The Taiwan lily (Lilium formosanum)， an Asiatic species of lily， is successfully cultivated here. Every April when all of the lilies blossom， the wind animates the flowers， and as they dance the heady fragrance of the blossoms fills the fresh air of the river valley.
