River tracing has become one of the most popular outdoor activities in recent years, and it's also a great way to avoid heatstroke. Not only does it allow participants to enjoy forest ecology and the coolness of the stream, but its charm also lies in the refreshing and liberating feeling after overcoming thrilling challenges. Last year, Tiansai Retreat launched icefall river tracing, which received an enthusiastic response. This year, Tiansai has extended the tracing experience to the northern Taiwan hidden gem – “Laomei Creek.” With multiple water flows, participants can climb waterfalls and take on the challenge of swimming across deep pools, making both group travelers and tracing enthusiasts thrilled. Participants have noted that river tracing helps build better team chemistry, provides the invigorating rush of icy waterfalls, and even sparks creativity. For beginners, the upstream currents and floating experiences offer a taste of the creek’s cool thrill. After the activity, relax in the resort’s hot springs to soothe tired muscles – making it a perfect group trip for families and friends to escape the summer heat.
