You can fly there and chance to bus. You can train there and change to bus... But why?
The long-distance busses in Taiwan are AMAZING!!! The last leg of the journey is is the traditional cramped limozine bus but...
Taipei-Kaoshiung is cheap and WONDERFUL!! The trip is about 10 hours and can be done overnight. The busses are spacious and comfy!! The seats are like lazy-boys and big enough for a 180cm tall person to comfortabally curl-up and sleep in.
You get the bus downtown Taipei. it takes you to downtown Kaoshiung and then you switch for the last 3 hours into Kenting.
The beach. the end of the line and you will know you are there when you see a lone 7-11 and McDonalds in the middle of nowhere.
If you are going for the Spring Scream you will see the crowds and crowds of people. Youcan't miss it!!

This map shows the highlights of Taiwan south, but of course, there is always other places to visit rather then big city.
