Every time I heard Zhang Zhenyue singing "The opposite of my house is the blue Pacific Ocean, and the red sun rises on the straight coastline, I will never forget it once I walk there", I always want to go to that place that I will never forget in my life.
So this time I set off with my buddies and chose the place awakened by the Pacific Ocean - Kenting!
Go blow the wind of the Pacific Ocean, take a look at the place where the Tropic of Cancer crosses... Chase the memory of the movie "Cape No. 7" in my student days.
Although this is the third time I have come to Taiwan, I am still as excited as the first time I came, and I am looking forward to it!
I packed my luggage overnight and took an early flight from Nanjing to Kaohsiung early in the morning.
Arrive at Kaohsiung Xiaogang Airport in less than two hours, buy tickets directly at the counter ~ take the Kenting Express Line and arrive at our destination Kenting in 140 minutes, then continue to buy tickets for the Kenting Streetcar, 2 two-day tickets per person , so that in the next few days we will directly take the streetcar and go to various scenic spots to play by ourselves, which is very convenient!
beef buddy
Taiwan's food is amazing, every time I come here, I can't stop eating! This time, I couldn't stop. I chose Beef Friends' House for the first meal. The rhythm of the whole beef feast, although it is a roadside shop, is a bit old, but the taste is very good, using various cooking methods and seasonings, among which I My favorite is stir-fried large intestine with sand tea sauce. It is very cost-effective, and finally all the CDs!
Caesars Hotel
In order to experience different hotel environments, the few of us are not afraid of tossing, a total of five days and four nights of travel, spent every day in changing hotels...
We chose the Caesar Hotel on the first day. We took the Kenting Express from the airport to the place directly. There is a stop at the door. It belongs to the same group as Burj Al Arab, so the overall environment is still very good, and the rooms are full of Nanyang flavor. .
Fortunately, we booked a room on the first floor, with its own small open-air courtyard, where we can enjoy the afternoon and relax while soaking in the hot spring.
There is a back door in the courtyard that leads directly to the hotel garden, a place with tropical trees and the fragrance of birds and flowers. There is a large swimming pool next to it, where you can play~
A few hours after lunch, we ordered afternoon tea in the hotel, watched the scenery outside the window, ate desserts, and were very satisfied! You must eat the Strawberry Mille-Feuille Pie, which is crispy and crunchy, with a lot of berries, sour and sweet, and will not feel greasy. This is limited to 10 per day, so you must make an appointment in advance, and it can only be kept fresh for two hours , I finally came here to stay for one night, how could I miss it? !
evening walk
In order to continue looking for food at night, after afternoon tea, we chose to wander all the way to Eluanbi, take a walk and have a look, blowing the sea breeze, enjoying this rare relaxation...
I like the buildings on the streets of Kenting very much. The color matching is very cheerful and lovely. It makes me think that I am in Kenting. The weather is fine, and everything about the sun, sand, and waves will make me feel happy.
We waited until the sunset and saw the fleeting Phnom Penh clouds before we reluctantly went back.
Deluxe Seafood BBQ
For dinner, we had an outdoor seafood BBQ at the Caesars Hotel. After that, we went to the bar opposite, enjoying the sea breeze, drinking wine, listening to songs, and chatting. This may be my favorite life~
It's just right to fall asleep slightly drunk, and we will officially start our trip to Kenting tomorrow.
National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium
I have always hoped that I would never grow up, so I think the zoo is the best place to keep my innocence besides Disney. Every time I go to a place, I must punch in the zoo or Sea World.
The same is true for coming to Kenting. I took the Kenting Streetcar to the Marine Life Museum early in the morning. Apart from seeing all kinds of marine life, the biggest feature here is that you can sleep overnight and sleep with the ocean...
Not long after we visited, it happened that the local school organized middle school students to visit, so there were a lot of people in the venue, and there were a lot of laughter... I seemed to see the scene of everyone going out for spring and autumn outings when I was in school, which made me nostalgic .
Ashin Chocolate Farm
When planning the itinerary, the few of us could not leave our eyes when we saw the word chocolate, especially because I really love chocolate, so I strongly demanded to come.
This is the only chocolate ecological farm in Taiwan. It is located in the Yoho Resort in Wanlitong. Here you can learn about chocolate and even DIY chocolate.
As soon as we arrived at the gate of the farm, the aborigines here were singing to welcome us, very enthusiastic~
I thought there was only chocolate here, but I didn’t expect there to be a deer garden. There are so many cute deer. I can feed them. Because they are still cubs, I still need to continue to breastfeed. This is the first time I have fed small animals. I am excited ing!
Lunch was in a semi-sun room, with the looming sun shining... The cocoa chicken nugget rice was very specially designed. The rice was directly put in the cocoa shell, and there would be a faint cocoa aroma when chewing.
It's time for my favorite chocolate DIY~ As soon as I came in, I drank water soaked in cocoa beans, with a faint cocoa aroma, sweet aftertaste and a little bit of cocoa bitterness. Anyway, I like it very much. Then it was time for me to show my strengths. I was super serious about making desserts, but I secretly made and ate them, and I was secretly photographed. It’s embarrassing~
The final product is quite perfect, take my work home with a beautiful box!
Hengchun Transfer Station
It was still early and we continued to take the Kenting Streetcar to the Hengchun Transit Station. This is a large transit station, and several lines can be transferred here, which is super convenient.
There are also Ma'anshan popsicles that are only available in limited stores. We each have one. I chose the longan glutinous rice flavor, which is very good! Go to Hengchun Old Street while eating~
Hengchun Old Street
Hengchun Old Street is formed by the intersection of Zhongshan Road and Fude Road. It has a history of hundreds of years. Most of the buildings and businesses in the old street have existed for more than half a century. There are classical window grilles, traditional stone-washed bricks and tiles, and old Fujian-style buildings. , Anti-Baroque architecture, the combination of Chinese and Western architectural styles is amazing, full of different flavors...
The main reason we come to Hengchun Old Street is to look for food. Come here to try the ancient snacks, such as red yuanzi, mung bean garlic, salty naked, big noodles, and duck noodles. There are too many delicious ones. ! ! !
We finally chose to eat the mung bean garlic from Sister A’e’s house. There is no garlic in it~ Don’t be intimidated, it is cooked from shelled mung beans, like chopped garlic, it is a famous local dish kinds of desserts. We ordered hot and cold ones. The taste is very good. The hot ones can be eaten directly after cooking. And brown sugar, which is very suitable for summer consumption. Mung beans are mixed with the sweetness of brown sugar. If you eat too much, you won’t feel greasy~ I strongly recommend that you go shopping with an empty stomach, otherwise you will hate your stomach for being too small. It’s delicious Too many to taste one by one.
Aka's house
When you come to Hengchun Old Street, you must go to Ajia’s house to see the memory of the movie "Cape No. 7" in my student days.
This room still retains all the scenes in the movie, which makes you think of the scenes in the movie, and I inadvertently think of the lines in the movie, "The mountain is still the mountain, the sea is still the sea, but there are no people", and the sentence The most classic "Stay...or I'll go with you", I can't help but want to go back and watch this movie again.
Kenting Amanda Hotel
In the evening, it’s time to move the hotel again. The Kenting Amanda Hotel where I stayed the next day is my favorite. The overall style is designed with the theme of the ancient Moroccan imperial palace, with the meaning of "Red City", carved arches, exquisitely handcrafted Although the art furniture inlaid with silver and copper is a bit exaggerated, you can experience the rich atmosphere of exotic aristocrats and experience a unique experience...
The public relations facilities in the hall are also very complete. Among them, my favorite is the Moroccan palace-style bath and the characteristic costumes of the Middle East that can be rented. You can match them as you like, and then take pictures in the hall.
The rooms have 7 different themed designs. The one I booked is the Emerald Ancient City. I like it very much~ It has a warm color of emerald green, exquisite and delicate, ancient copper plate tables, antique white-stained old teak furniture, and romantic The veil at the head of the bed mixes and matches the faint French colonial style of the green city "McKennes", and every piece of furniture is so exquisite.
The most important thing is that there is a large indoor terrazzo bathtub, which is very luxurious and exquisite, and it is beautiful! Every girl should want to have this kind of big bathtub at home. You can take a bath in it at night, which is super enjoyable~
Strolling in the restaurant before eating, I saw a lot of exquisite tableware on display. After asking, I realized that these were specially bought by the staff of the clubhouse from Morocco. Even in the clubhouse, except for the large pieces of furniture, the rest was basically a piece from Morocco by themselves. Bought one back, it's really amazing!
Dinner is here to experience the pure Moroccan-style food, the taste is very good~ I especially like the dessert, my favorite chocolate~
Houbi Lake. Yachting experience and water sports
How can you not enjoy the bright sunshine and blue sea when you come to Kenting? !
Let's go together, look at the endless sea with white waves, look at the flowing white clouds in the sky, look at the seabirds flying, think about the most beautiful dreams you have ever imagined...
Taking a yacht from Houbi Lake to the sea, leaving the urban jungle for a short time, sitting on the plywood, basking in the sun and blowing the sea breeze, not only the weather in Kenting is fine, but so is my heart.
There are a lot of water activities here. I was not very interested at first, but I wanted to play more and more, and I couldn't stop the rhythm! From parasailing to canoeing, it's super high!
Huatai Ruiyuan
After playing, we will continue to look for food. We chose Huatai Ruiyuan, which is located on the mountainside of Kenting National Park. The scenery here is very good! Very suitable for vacation~ The hotel design is based on coexistence with nature.
Between the mountains and the sea, a place of leisure...
This used to be one of the Jiang Gong residences. It was built in 1969. The hotel still retains Jiang Gong’s study. Inside, you can glimpse the meeting room space at that time, the shell screens of distinguished representatives, the ornate wooden palace lanterns, and even the secret escape route. The fireplace decorated at the entrance is faithfully presented in front of the tenants, and it is a precious preservation of Taiwan's historical memory. Outdoors, there is a large open-air swimming pool that Ms. Song Meiling loves most.
The lunch is very rich, the ingredients are very fresh, most of them are natively grown in the local area, I love the beef noodles, the meat is fresh and tender, the noodles are handmade, very strong, two bowls are not too much!
Sichongxi Centennial Hot Spring Qingquan Japanese Hot Spring
When you come to Kenting, you must go to the hot spring to relax... We chose Qingquan Japanese-style hot spring, which is located in Sichongxi with a history of nearly 100 years, and it was also the place where the Japanese royal family and princes spent their honeymoon. Qingquan Japanese Hot Spring Hall". Since the establishment of the museum in 1926, it was expanded by Prince Nobuhito of Takamatsu Palace in 1930 during the Japanese colonial period. The Japanese courtyard and pattern are still preserved, leaving a testimony of love, and at the same time, there are novel suites and hot spring facilities.
The overall environment in the museum is very quiet and beautiful. The soup here is made of sodium bicarbonate spring, commonly known as "beauty soup". In addition to a few outdoor soup pools, there are many soup houses. If you are reluctant to leave after soaking in the soup, you can Choose to stay here, there are many Japanese-style rooms with different themes, all very beautiful…
The open-air soup pool we soak in directly, I like the high temperature, which makes the pores of the whole body open, promotes blood circulation, relieves stress, and sweats after soaking for a while, which is very refreshing.
After soaking in the soup, you can also taste the top ice cream here, Uji Kintoki ice cream, which contains classic matcha ice cream, which tastes mellow, with freshly boiled red beans and small balls, glutinous and sweet, and a cup of brown rice tea , tastes great.
In the summer afternoon, soaking in soup and eating ice cream is very satisfying!

In the evening, we chose to stay at the Chateau Beach Hotel in Kenting. This is a leisure resort hotel in Taiwan that is adjacent to the beautiful shell beach. Against the blue sea and blue sky, the shade of terminalia trees and the white waves of coconut groves, it is full of leisurely and enthusiastic romantic style like southern Europe.
