Shihpai Riverfront Walkway Introduction
Shihpai Stream, located near the Four-faced Buddha Temple, has a year-round water flow, creating a rich ecosystem of various plants and animals, along with unique geological features. The Soil and Water Conservation Bureau has implemented eco-friendly methods to preserve the meandering nature of the stream and maintain biodiversity, establishing approximately 1.1 kilometers of a water-friendly ecological trail. Visitors can hear the sounds of insects and birds and see animals such as the Formosan butterfly, pink butterfly, Taiwan freshwater shrimp, marsh crab, tree frog, and human-faced spider, experiencing the unspoiled beauty of nature's tranquility. Parking is available at the Four-faced Buddha Temple parking lot (for motorcycles, small cars, and large buses), with a 200-meter walk to the trailhead; after reaching the trail's endpoint, visitors need to return. The trail is generally flat and has explanatory signs along the way. Local organizations offer guided tours, making it suitable for family ecological education. Trail length: 1 kilometer. Walking time: 1 hour. Facilities include: resting pergolas, warning signs, explanatory signs, Four-faced Buddha Temple parking lot (motorcycles, small cars, large buses).
