Sheding Natural Park

Nice place for a walk. Took me about 2h to walk around the whole trail. Bus schedule isn’t very often (the next bus back to Hengchun was in 4h so I had to ask someone in the car park to drive me back)

Easy hiking way with lots to explore. A variety of natural landscapes and super sea views. No entrance fees required. Nearby parking spaces and restrooms. All chills.

The park is beautiful, with a lot of variation, from dense forest, strait gorges, open patches to high viewpoints. A lot of nature to observe, from close-by monkeys, beautiful butterflies and high soaring eagles. The network of trails is in good condition. Moderate intense with some height differences, but ok for fit people of all ages. Not suited for people with reduced mobility.

Requires significant effort with very little reward. The bus never comes and the trail is long, hot, and unsheltered to walk by foot. Disappointingly not worth the time or energy, especially when Taiwan has so much more to offer elsewhere.

There are fewer people in the park in the early morning. After 9am, I started to see some buses arriving filled with people... would say it is not a difficult hike. Didn't see any animals during the hike.

This national park is our first time visiting there. We were so enjoying ourselves back then. Also, this place is pretty good for either do picnic or hike. If you have kids, I think it is a nice place to have fun with them here.

There are 3 trails in total. All Free including motorcycle parking. Awesome way to get away from the Kenting crowds and reset. I loved my good, brisk walk today surrounded by lush nature and clean air :) I recommend trail number 1 for a quicker easier walk (about 15 mins total) with a fun cave and lots of green / forest environment plus a raised platform with ocean views at the end of the walk. I will try out trail 2 (middle entrance) tomorrow, heard it's the best but is mostly uphill and will require closed shoes not slippers. Supposed to have the best ocean view from this trail, its 3 miles so 1.5km or so and should only take 25 mins on a faster / brisk pace

Went an hour before closing around 1630 and had the park to ourselves. There were tour busses of people leaving as we arrived, so I highly recommend going late in the day. It was beautiful and had nice lookout spots overlooking the ocean. Would not have enjoyed it nearly as much with crowds.
