Shihpai Creek Riverside Trail Introduction
"Shihpai Keng" is located near the Si Mian Fo Temple and the Ye Keng Stream, which has water year-round. The river environment is rich in diverse animal and plant ecology and unique geological features. The Soil and Water Conservation Bureau has employed ecological methods to maintain the meandering nature of the stream and preserve biodiversity, establishing approximately 1.1 kilometers of a water-friendly ecological trail. Visitors can hear the sounds of chirping insects and birds and see the Formosan butterfly, pink butterfly, Taiwanese shrimp, marsh crab, tree frog, and the wandering spider, experiencing the unpolluted tranquility of nature. Parking is available at the Si Mian Fo Temple parking lot (motorbikes, sedans, and buses), and visitors walk about 200 meters to reach the trailhead. The trail is a round trip, and after reaching the endpoint, visitors must return. The trail is generally flat, with explanatory signs along the way. Local community groups offer guided tours of the trail, making it suitable for family ecological education. Trail length: 1 kilometer. Walking time: 1 hour. Facilities include rest trestles, warning signs, explanatory signs, and parking at the Si Mian Fo Temple (motorbikes, sedans, and buses).
The trailhead is located next to the industrial road and has a sign installed.
The rest area is equipped with a bamboo pavilion that blends well with the surrounding environment.
