Sheding Nature Park
社顶自然公园
A free coral reef nature park next to the forest recreation area. The Lingxiao Pavilion offers panoramic views over Kenting, and you can often spot Formosan sika deer that have been reintroduced to the wild.
Sheding Nature Park is right next to Kenting Forest Recreation Area, also on an uplifted coral reef plateau. It is free to enter and sees fewer visitors. Trails wind through coral reef rocks, grasslands, and tropical forest. From the Lingxiao Pavilion, you can look out over Dajianshan, Kenting Street, and the coastline of Nanwan. The sunset views from here are lovely in the evening. The park has Formosan sika deer released into the wild, and during autumn you can see large numbers of migrating raptors. At night, eco-tour groups lead visitors to observe fireflies and other nocturnal creatures. The trails have mosquitoes, so wear long pants and bring insect repellent.
