not much to do there... but then again I'm not a beach person
In a nutshell
BEAUTIFUL and FUN!!
chewy3326 Says: Guanshan (Mountain Viewpoint) (觀山) is a beautiful but oft-missed viewpoint in Kenting National Park. Situated about 300 meters above the Strait of Taiwan below, the viewpoint is most well known for its sunset views; however, coming at any other time is just as...
chewy3326 Says: Longluan Lake Nature Center (Longluan Tan Zhiran Jhongxing) (龍鑾潭自然中心) is a small nature center along the south shore of Longluan Lake that isn't of too much interest. The nature center can only be reached a 1-km (one-way), 10...
chewy3326 Says: Maobitou (猫鼻頭) (Cat's Nose) is the second most southerly point on the island of Taiwan. It sits across a wide bay from Eluanbi, but in many respects, Maobitou is much more beautiful. The area around Maobitou has a rugged, rocky feel to it. This is...
Kenting National Park Visitor Center
chewy3326 Says: Kenting National Park has a very good and informative visitor center. The visitor center has numerous exhibits (most in Chinese) about Kenting’s fish, rain forest, and coral reef. Helpful park employees can give you tips on what to see and do; there are also some more in...
chewy3326 Says: Longluan Lake (Longluan Tan) (龍鑾潭) is the largest lake in Kenting National Park and the Hengchun Peninsula. There originally was a natural Longluan Lake, but it was dammed and made into a resevoir for irrigating farms in the area. Apparently, the lake...
chewy3326 Says: Frog Rock (Qinwa Shi) (清蛙石) is rather self-explanatory: a large rock that’s shaped like a frog. Near Frog Rock is an idyllical little beach that makes the scene look almost… like some South Pacific island. The somewhat vegetated rock actually looks (in...
chewy3326 Says: Sail Rock (Chuanfan Shi) (船帆石) is a large, sail-shaped rock east of the town of Kenting. It is named because of its resemblance to the sail on a ship. To most people (well, at least me), it looks like a big rock. It is also sometimes called “Nixon Head”...
John_Boo Says: I think Kenting has some great Diving to be offered but for some reason it has been kept a secret. Scuba Diving has been steadily growing with some of the nicest soft coral sites in the asia area. Best time to Dive is in the winter. The water temp is around 20 to 22C getting...
Fuzk84 Says: We actually wanted to go scuba diving or snorkelling at first... but as luck would have it, we arrived right on the eve of a hurricane, and that stirred up the seabeds reducing the visibilty (or so the operators say). They in turn recommended for us to go wake boarding...
kenmerk Says: Another good place to avoid the hectic Kenting nightlife scene is down at Szechunghsi Hot Springs. These hot springs were originally developed by the Japanese during the colonial period. The resort that we visited was built around the ruins of the original Japanese resort,...
THLIN Says: Shopping at Kenting Rd. Feel the atmosphere of passionful southern Taiwan. Experience great time. Casual. Sandal & slipper, please. Make it as casual as possible.
THLIN Says: If you do not want to spend money on hotel, you can chose night bus. Leaving Taipei at 01:00 in the morning and arriving at 07:00. Cost NT850.(US24)
devmicha Says: 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...
kenmerk Says: Well, if you dive in a foreign country, its never quite clear what the mission is, due to language barriers, and all... I like to take pictures, and so on this night dive, I was lining up a picture for this fish... Suddenly...... GUNG-GUNG-GUNG-GUNG!!! A spear goes whizzing...
kenmerk Says: Just got back from another Kenting trip. As it turns out, one of the the other divers got stabbed by a sea urchin when trying to egress the water at the of a shore dive. Click on the knee to see what the wound looks like up close.
THLIN Says: HaHa. Kenting is the best diving place in Taiwan. For those who cannot swim, they teach you immediately. Therefore, everyone has no problem diving. Visitors can chose package tour, with b&b and some ocean activities cost around NT1,000.
Scuba Diving paradise in Taiwan
alex_yang Says: In Kenting,it is very easy to find a diving place. You can find out many corol in the sea.
Jill2002 Says: This was a baby octopus that our guide found.
kenmerk Says: I like this one,,, that lizard fish sorta has the "cat that ate the canary" look on his face.... When I first saw him, I wasnt sure what he had in his mouth, turning my head sideways I saw it was a full up butterfly fish... (Lucky for me, not so luck for the butterfly...
kenmerk Says: Be sure to check out Kenting's monument to the local biker culture: Snoopy on a Scooter... Not quite Hell's Angels now is it... But then again what is ....

Kenting - I live one hour away from Kenting. We go often and we usually stay at the Yoho Beach Resort (I'm a lifetime member), which is part of the Landis group of hotels.

Heat Warmth Passion--Welcome to Kenting
After 3 years, I am back AGAIN!! Good to be here, if you ask any of Taiwanese," where is the best place for beach?" The answer must have been Kenting. I am glad that I have a chance to seize the end...

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