Dimension: The rapids and falls cover a stretch of several hundred meters, with an average height drop being relatively low, focusing more on the speed and turbulence of the water flow. The river banks feature naturally sculpted cliffs and prominent basalt rock formations smoothed by centuries of water flow. The surrounding area is dominated by the Bamboo species, which naturally frames the park and gives it a distinct Eco Park aesthetic. Human infrastructure is minimal, consisting of small check dams for safety and simple resting areas, designed to blend into the wilderness. -
