The facility is situated near the entrance of the Ershuei Bike Trail, a popular destination for local eco-tourism.
Macaque populations in the Bagua Mountain area are known for their high adaptability to human-altered landscapes.
The hall was established to mitigate human-wildlife conflict by promoting responsible observation rather than feeding.
The Ershuei Formosan Macaque Education Exhibition Hall serves as a specialized facility dedicated to the study and conservation of the endemic Formosan macaque. Located at the foot of the Bagua Mountain range, the hall utilizes interactive displays to educate visitors on the macaques' natural behaviors, social structures, and habitat requirements. It functions as a hub for ecological awareness, emphasizing the history of human-macaque interactions in the local Ershuei region. The site provides insights into the challenges of wildlife co-existence in peri-urban environments. It serves as a starting point for exploring the surrounding ecological trails where wild macaque troops are frequently spotted. The facility maintains close ties with local forestry and conservation departments to monitor regional population health.
The observation deck overlooking the tree canopy near the main entrance offers the best vantage point for spotting primates.
Keep all food items and plastic bags inside your backpack, as macaques are attracted to human food.
Avoid making direct eye contact with macaques, as it can be perceived as an act of aggression.
Bring binoculars for spotting macaque troops in the trees lining the nearby mountain trails.
Do not leave food or sugary drinks visible or accessible in outdoor areas surrounding the hall.
Closed on Mondays.
Do not feed or touch the monkeys; maintain a safe distance at all times to prevent disease transmission and aggressive behavior.
