Shihpai Keng Riverside Trail Introduction
Shihpai River, located near the Four Faced Buddha Temple, has a constant water flow throughout the year, featuring a diverse ecosystem of flora and fauna along its riverbanks and unique geological formations. The Soil and Water Conservation Bureau has utilized ecological engineering to maintain the meandering nature of the stream while preserving biodiversity, establishing a approximately 1.1 KM water-friendly ecological trail. Visitors can hear the sounds of chirping insects and birds, as well as spot Taiwan butterflies, pink butterflies, Taiwan river shrimp, marsh crabs, tree frogs, and the human-faced spider, experiencing the undisturbed natural beauty and tranquility. Visitors can park their vehicles at the parking lot of the Four Faced Buddha Temple (motorcycles, cars, and buses) and walk approximately 200 meters to the trailhead. After walking to the end of the trail, they must return the same way. The trail is mostly flat and features informational signs along the way. Local community groups offer guided tours along the trail, making it suitable for educational ecotours for families. Trail length: 1 kilometer. Walking time: 1 hour. Facilities include: resting trellises, warning signs, informational signs, and the Four Faced Buddha Temple parking lot (motorcycles, cars, and buses).
The trailhead is located next to the industrial road, with a sign installed.
The rest area features a bamboo canopy, blending well with the surrounding environment.
