The 94-hectare park covers the slopes of Songbo Ridge and contains well-preserved mid-elevation forests favoured by the Formosan macaque, the island's sole monkey species. They are easiest to spot in the morning.
The reserve and exhibition halls are 6km east of Ershui off County Rd 152 (look for the English sign 'Ershui Formosan Macaque Education Hall'), which is a pleasant rural route to take should you wish to ride the 20km to Jiji.
