Pingtung County / Sheding Nature Park and The Gorge

Situated in a natural environment, Sheding Nature Park is covered with coral reef valleys, limestone caves, and grasslands. The park belonged to the aboriginal Paiwan people, and is now the center of wildlife research and conservation. With rich ecological resources and host plants, the place brings all kinds of insects, such as cicadas, and butterflies.



I wanted to visit the park so badly because I wanted to see the fairy caves!


Located in the southern part of Taiwan, Kenting is a popular scenic area surrounded by ocean and mountains.





























Sheding Nature Park is basically more of the same – magnificent, largely untouched coral formations covered in gnarled old trees. Unfortunately there are no caves here (or at least no accessible ones) but instead the two gorges here are bigger and more impressive than the clefts at the Forest Recreation Area a few minutes’ drive away, and several spots offer panoramic views over the peninsula and the ocean. The paths also are much less intrusive, often natural dirt, and there’s no admission fee. 

Go early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the crowds and it’s an extraordinary landscape to explore.








Jeffrey decided to be shot topless here!








































When I was at the Verdant Pavilion, it felt as if I was in the skies. IN heaven.

I shouted, 'I LOVE TAIWAN!'







Sheding Nature Park is definitely a very scenic place to visit! I'm in love.
