Description

Shoushan, also known as Monkey Mountain, is an uplifted limestone terrain rising from the ocean, reaching 356 meters above sea level and facing the Taiwan Strait to the west. From the mountain, you can enjoy stunning views of Kaohsiung City and the coastline.

The mountain is a reserve for Formosan rock macaques, which are known for their playful interactions with people. Be sure not to show food in your hands, or you might get an unexpected reaction!

This is a relaxing trip with plenty of spots to rest. Several pavilions for resting are available along the way, and you’ll find tea and water at the top of the mountain. Most routes are along wooden boardwalks, with plenty of shortcuts over rocky terrain for the more adventurous hikers.

On our trip, we will pass a small cave where you can step inside and explore. At noon, light streams through an opening at the top, creating a magical "holy light" effect. If you're lucky, you can stand beneath it and feel its glow. Keep an eye out for muntjacs, or barking deer, which may peek out from behind the trees if they’re feeling playful.

Come and enjoy a peaceful hike, unwind in nature, and take in a breathtaking scenery!

Wonderful morning !

Definitely a must do in Kaohsiung! The guide was really sympathetic and we had a nice chat during the way up and down. I really enjoyed his company!

Great experience!

We booked on a very short notice but got the information about the meeting point shortly after. We could have visited the mountain by ourselves but this way it was so much more meaningful. We learned a lot about the mountain and its nature as well as the city. Thank you so much for the memorable tour and the travel recommendations!

Fun tour!

2ish hours hike, mostly strairs and clean path. I did it with sandals no problem. Was fun to have a guide to share information and discuss different topic. Would recommend to everyone passing by KH.
