  • You may encounter Taiwanese macaques on the trail. Please keep a proper distance to protect each other.
  • The tree-lined trail is gentle and easy to walk, and many rest areas are suitable for leisure hiking.
  • From the trail's end, it takes only two minutes to walk to Shoutian Temple, where the crowds gather.

The Ershui Dengmiao Trail is also known as the Fengbai Ecological Trail. It is 2.1 kilometers long. One end of the trail is at Fengbo Plaza, and the other is the exit of Mo Ru Lane, where Shoutian Temple is. There are abundant flora and fauna along the trail, with birds and squirrels jumping on the branches, butterflies fluttering, and, if you are lucky, you can even see macaques.

The former Porter Trail is now an ecological trail for hikers. 
In the early years, the Dengmiao Trail was the only trading road from Ershui Township, Changhua, to Songbailing, Mingjian Township, and Nantou. Because transportation was inconvenient at that time, porters from the mountains would slowly carry ginger, pineapples, bamboo shoots, tea leaves, fruits, and other products from the trail to Ershui Street to sell and buy daily necessities on the way back. Today, this section of the road has become an ecological trail for pilgrims to Tiangong and hikers.

Encounter wild macaques at the Monkey Watching Platform. 
Shaded by trees, the trail has stone benches scattered around for rest. Stone tablets between the four pavilions have marked two scenic spots: the Monkey Watching Platform and the Woyun Bridge. The chances of seeing groups of macaques are higher near the Monkey Watching Platform. However, even though they are not afraid of strangers, watching from a distance is the best way to protect each other when encountering wild animals. The Mo Ru Lane at the trail's end is a steep staircase, and the Shoutian Temple is at the end. From the square in front of the temple, you can overlook the scenery of Ershui Township and the mother river-- Zhuoshui River.

Stop by Old Tea Street to visit the Hometown of Songbo Evergreen Tea. 
After worshiping the Shoutian Temple, you can also see the nearby Old Tea Street. Mingjian Township has an excellent geographical location and soil suitable for growing tea trees, and the "Songbokeng Tea" produced here is of high quality. When the late President Chiang Ching-kuo visited to taste tea, he named the local tea "Songbo Evergreen Tea," which once became a trend. Why not stroll along the century-old tea street to experience the beauty of Taiwanese tea?
