Want a natural journey that combines geological wonders, ecological observation, and stunning ocean views? Located next to the Kenting Forest Recreation Area in Pingtung, the Sheding Natural Park is definitely the place for you! This natural treasure, covering an area of approximately 120 hectares, boasts rich coral reef terrain, diverse flora and fauna, and an excellent spot for bird watching. Whether it's family hiking, ecological observation, or for photography enthusiasts, everyone can find their own joy here.
The most unique aspect of Sheding Natural Park is its special geological landscape formed by the uplift of seabed coral reefs. After a long period of erosion and weathering, it has formed stunning coral reef rock crevices, such as small ravines, small canyons, large canyons, and the ingenious limestone caves, as well as the spectacular "One-Line Sky" terrain. Walking through it feels like entering a natural geological museum, full of surprises.
The park has planned several trails with varying difficulty levels, suitable for visitors of all ages. Whether you want a leisurely stroll or a challenge, you can find a route that suits you. Along the trail, you can admire natural scenic spots such as the small ravine, spring, small canyon, Windward Gate, grassland, large canyon, Hanbi Pavilion, and Lingxiao Pavilion. You can also overlook the magnificent scenery of the Bashi Channel and the Pacific Ocean. The entire journey takes about an hour and a half.
Sheding Natural Park is also a very rich area in terms of biodiversity, with nearly 300 species of plants and a variety of unique insects, such as the cute short-cylinder stick insects, and the dreamy bioluminescent fungi. The editor thinks this is definitely the best place for ecological observation. In addition, a Formosan sika deer rehabilitation area is set up on the east side of the park, allowing visitors to observe these lovely creatures up close and learn about the importance of ecological conservation.
Every autumn (September to October) is the best time to watch the migration of eagles. Flocks of gray-faced buzzards and crested serpent eagles will fly over southern Taiwan during this time, heading south for the winter. The Lingxiao Pavilion in Sheding Park is the best place to watch eagles. Standing on Lingxiao Pavilion, you can clearly see the eagles circling and flying in the sky. The scene is very spectacular and will definitely leave you in awe!
