Shihpai Pit Water-Friendly Trail Introduction
Shihpai Stream, located near the Si Mian Fo Temple, has a continuous water flow year-round, characterized by rich wildlife and plant ecology, as well as unique geological formations. The Soil and Water Conservation Bureau employs ecological engineering methods to preserve the stream's meandering nature and maintain biodiversity, establishing approximately 1.1 kilometers of accessible ecological trails. Visitors can hear the sounds of insects and birds, and observe species such as the Formosan butterfly, pink butterfly, Taiwan shrimp, marsh crab, tree frog, and the goldenorb spider, experiencing the pristine beauty of unpolluted nature. Visitors can park their vehicles in the Si Mian Fo Temple parking lot (for motorcycles, small cars, and buses), then walk about 200 meters to the trailhead. After walking to the end of the trail, they must return. The trail is generally flat with explanatory signs along the way. Local community groups offer guided tours along the trail, making it suitable for family ecological education. Trail length: 1 kilometer. Walking time: 1 hour. Facilities include: rest areas, warning signs, explanatory signs, and Si Mian Fo Temple parking lot (for motorcycles, small cars, and buses).
The trailhead is located beside the industrial road, with a sign installed.
The rest area features a bamboo canopy that blends harmoniously with the surrounding environment.
