An old pilgrimage route
Kengneikeng Forest Trail (坑內坑森林步道) began as a route for residents making pilgrimages to Shoutian Temple (受天宮) at Songboling (松柏嶺), connecting Changhua with Nantou County (南投縣). Ecological engineering displays, observation areas and viewing platforms line the route. In March, yellow-flowering trumpet trees form a corridor of blossom extending for several hundred metres. The trail includes earth surfaces, wooden boardwalks, steps and a suspension bridge.
Woodland animals
A National Taiwan University (國立臺灣大學) survey conducted from May 1990 to March 1991 describes the Ershui Formosan Macaque Nature Reserve (二水臺灣獼猴自然保護區) as a 91-hectare site. It recorded 42 bird species and 49 butterfly species. Macaques also moved beyond the reserve boundary.
