Tri-mountain National Scenic Area

Also known as the Fengbo Ecological Trail, the trail was a trading path connecting Ershui Township and Songboling, Mingjian Township in the early days. Now, it is known as the hiking trail leading to Shotian Temple. The trail is 1.8 km long and takes about 50 minutes one way on foot. 　　

There are notices near the entrance to remind the visitors to be aware of the macaques, including not feeding them, not leaving food exposed, not having contact with them and not leaving children alone. Monkey Watching Pavilion and Bridge on the Cloud. 　　

There is a possibility that groups of macaques may appear near the Monkey Watching Pavilion. Although the macaques are not scared of humans, we advise visitors to stay away from them and avoid direct contact with them. And don’t forget to slow down your pace when you reach the Bridge on the Cloud (Woyun Bridge), which features a pleasant scenic view, to enjoy the beauty of the forest. Gentleman Alley (Moru Alley) 　　

Formerly a trading path, the alley is so narrow that people have to walk sideways to pass each other, hence the name “Gentleman Alley”. As transportation was less developed during the Japanese Occupation, Songboling residents who merchandised in Ershui, had to carry their produce via the mountain path beside Shotian Temple, passing through Gentleman Alley and hiking along the “stone pit road” (now Fengbo Road) in order to reach Ershui. At the end of the day, they would purchase daily necessities and walk back to the mountain using the same path.

With the increase of merchants going to Ershui from Songboling, some passionate citizens expanded the Gentleman Alley to make it easier to walk while carrying loads. After the a Retrocession of Taiwan, the country prospered and transportation became more convenient. Songboling residents no longer need to walk through the mountain trail to Ershui for trading; the sight of men carrying loads has officially become part of history.
