Shihpai Keng Riverside Walkway Introduction
The "Shihpaikeng" area, located near the Wild Creek of the Four-Faced Buddha Temple, has perennial water and a river environment rich in diverse flora and fauna, as well as unique geological landscapes. The Soil and Water Conservation Bureau has implemented eco-engineering methods to preserve the meandering nature of the stream and maintain biodiversity, establishing approximately 1.1 km of waterfront ecological trails. Visitors can hear the sounds of insects and birds and spot animals such as the Formosan butterfly, the pink butterfly, the Taiwan rice shrimp, the mud crab, the tree frog, and the human face spider, all while experiencing the unpolluted natural beauty and tranquility. Visitors can park their vehicles at the Four-Faced Buddha Temple parking lot (for motorcycles, small cars, and large buses) and walk about 200 meters to reach the trailhead. After walking to the end of the trail, visitors must return to the starting point. The trail is generally flat and features interpretive signs along the way. Local organizations provide guided tours on the trail, making it a suitable route for family ecological education. Trail length: 1 kilometer. Walking time: 1 hour. Facilities: rest trellis, warning signs, interpretive signs, Four-Faced Buddha Temple parking lot (for motorcycles, small cars, and large buses).
The trailhead is located next to the industrial road, with a sign installed.
The rest area is equipped with a bamboo pavilion that blends well with the surrounding environment.
