无意中走入柴山大道，发现猴子的踪迹时孩子超兴奋的。之后在观景台发现猴群，有母猴带小猴觅食的可爱景象，调皮的猴子还爬到车顶往车内看，让孩子又笑又叫得超开心！！果真像置身于自然生态公园之中，走在路上要留意不要惊吓到路过的猴子喔！掰掰

柴山有许多秘密景点，可以看到一望无际的大海跟美丽日落，更能感受到船只的沉静，人类的渺小！猴子则是令人又爱又恨的山主人，切记勿带饮食，绝对会被抢劫！而且非常可怕！！

那天,我看到一只猴子竟然跳到女性游客背上, 甩都甩不掉, 后来有男的登山客拿棍子来救援才解围, 所以真的要小心些, 远离猴子才好, 不要喂它们, 尤其是大的公猴, (看的出来体型较大, 较独立),

虽然不用门票，也很适合全家一起爬山，但里面的管理不好，如果要去柴山的话，尽量不要带食物或饮料，如果要带的话建议不要拿在手上，还有要带一根棍子或长的伞，万一有猴子要抢食物可以拿来防身。

空气不错是运动健身的好地方喔.就是迩猴会抢食要小心.不要带塑胶袋在身上.不要用塑胶袋的声音很危险喔......半屏山的猴子比较凶喔

很适合全家大小一同出游踏青的好地方在尘嚣的都市还一个地方，让你可以拥有树木芬多精的洗礼登顶时可以眺望高雄市景,天气晴朗时在高雄港外的排队进港的船只也看的到只是必须小心携带食物甚至单只有空的塑胶袋,猴子也会来抢夺

享受森林芬多精的感觉还不错只是当你吃午餐或者有带点心请小心因为可能会有猴子突袭!!!!买了红豆饼都被抢光了QWQ

柴山步道整体而言是有经过规划,慢慢往上走就到达登山的小步道,开始你会慢慢发现走入森林的感觉,猕猴成群现在你眼前,走的都是登山客经年累月行走造成的步道.

猴子山是高雄一个很值得去的地方。我们总是在庙附近的入口停车,开始爬山时就会闻到一股好闻的味道。猴子很多,所以要小心你带的东西,它们会从你手上抢食物。小路被树木覆盖着,所以在上面走路很棒,但运动量很大,你会不停流汗。山顶有很棒的茶,人们总是很友好。爬山有点艰难,要注意安全。http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Kaohsiung+City,+Taiwan&hl=en&ll=22.657507,120.27336&spn=0.00061,0.001321&sll=34.23877,-85.153313&sspn=0.066415,0.169086&geocode=FTceXwEdlDcxBw&t=h&z=20

i've been there 2times, one time jsut for visit but not bad and one time for hiking & camping, it is excellent. i want to go there again.

if you need a good workout, this is the place to go! do reserve the entire day as the complicated network of paths will take up at least 5 hours of your time to navigate around..

I loved hiking this mountain to the top. There are different paths, the one I chose was six miles to the top. It's great exercise and I was drenched with sweat, but the scenery is awesome. I thought it was a little odd they present you with hot tea at the top, when you are so hot already from climbing, but a nice gesture. My goal was to see monkeys. I did see monkeys and the barking deer, which was intriguing. However folks, remember you are not in a zoo. These monkeys are wild and if they even think you may have food, will come out of the woodwork. I saw one monkey on a fence and opened my bag. Within seconds, there were 30 monkeys coming out from every direction and their face meant business. It's pretty scary. So be wary and know those monkeys mean business! Do not bring anything on your person that they may want, because they don't seem afraid of humans. Otherwise, it's a great hike!!

You can park for a low price at the nearby school lot like we did. Didn't get to see many monkeys this time, but the hike itself made it all worth it. It was very hot and humid the day we went; I don't remember ever sweating so much. Bring lots of water. The entire mountain is like a giant stairmaster workout.

This is an awesome place to see, learn, watch, climb and excerise. Bring water so that you can stop take a break and enjoy the monkeys that are walking around. Monkeys are really neat so bring a camera! Do not feed them it's against the law. My husband and I hiked all 4 trails or so that they had monkey mountain which, was so full. Big monkeys small monkeys baby monkeys....monkeys were everywhere. Their were men who carried water to the top of the mountain when they pass by they were sweating and trust me it's a "good" hike! So bring your own water. Those men work very hard for others! But this place has amazing views at the top mountain and amazing animals to see!
