The Shipan Valley Cliff Art Forest is located near the Shipan Valley Waterfall upstream of the QianKeng Creek, featuring a naturally occurring steep rock face. Its scale is comparable to that of a football field, with a rope set up at the top of the slope for visitors to pull themselves up. Many smooth-trunked Aglaia trees grow above this large rock slope, which villagers have named based on their various shapes, such as Grasshopper, Centipede, Giant Crab Tree, Spider King, and Antlers. The entire forest is also referred to as the "Aglaia Art Forest". In addition, the forest on the cliff is mixed with several different types of trees. One particularly favored tree is a massive beech tree with gnarled roots, known as the "Centennial Beech". From here, there is a hiking route that leads to the Jialiang Yunfeng Triangulation Station, taking approximately 1.5 hours, and then continues on to Caoling.
