Mount Shou, Sacred grove in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
Mount Shou rises above Kaohsiung city, featuring natural trails through dense vegetation where Formosan macaques inhabit the slopes and trees.
The mountain has maintained its status as a sacred site throughout centuries, with indigenous groups performing ceremonies and rituals on its grounds.
Multiple temples dot the pathways of Mount Shou, where local residents regularly visit to participate in traditional prayer ceremonies and spiritual practices.
The mountain trails remain accessible year-round, with entry points near public transportation stops and parking areas at the base of the hiking paths.
Formosan macaques frequently interact with visitors during morning and evening hours, creating encounters between wildlife and humans in their natural habitat.
