Kenting National Park is located on the south side of the Hengchun Peninsula. It is a national park surrounded by the sea on three sides. It is also a national park covering both land and sea.
Main Attractions
Touring Kenting National Park is generally divided into the east line and the west line with Hengchun Ancient City as the center, and the east and west lines are also divided into the east line and the east line, and the west line and the west line. The main scenic spots are basically on the east and west lines, but because the attractions are relatively separated, it takes basically 2 days to visit all the attractions. The scenic spots on the east line include Jiale Water Scenic Area, Qikong Waterfall and Chuhuo Scenic Area, and the east line attractions include Longpan Park, Eluanbi Park, Chuanfan Rock, Kenting, and Nanwan Beach. The attractions on the west line include the Marine Biological Museum, and the attractions on the west line include Maobitou Park and Houbihu Fishing Port (seafood market).
Generally, tourists come here mainly for one-day trips to the scenic spots of Dongxia Line and Xixia Line. If you have enough time, you can visit Hengchun Old Town again. It was built in the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty and is currently a well-preserved ancient city on the island. Speaking of Hengchun Old Town, many people may not be familiar with it, but as long as the movie "Cape No. 7" is mentioned, everyone must be familiar with it. Yes, Hengchun Old Town is the place where the story of the movie "Cape No. 7" took place and The filming location, where you can visit the home of the leading actor Ajia in the movie, take a photo with the mailbox, send a postcard to a friend, and visit and enter the bustling West Gate in the ancient city.
Starting from Hengchun Old Town, you can go to Maobitou Park on the Xixia Line. It is located at the southwest end of the Hengchun Peninsula. It is named Maobitou because it looks like a crouching cat. Due to the terrain, various natural terrains have been formed here. The scenery here is pleasant, and it has also become a good place to watch the sea and rocks. After visiting here, you can go east to Longluantan. It is a place where migratory birds flock to spend the winter every autumn and winter, and it is also an ideal bird watching spot.
Walking all the way back from Eluanbi Park, you will pass Chuanfan Rock on the way, which is located between Kenting and Eluanbi Park. It is a reef standing in the sea, and it looks like a sailboat about to set sail from a distance. Continue to go back, you can come to Nanwan Beach. Similarly, you may not know about Nanwan, but you must know that "Life of Pi" directed by Ang Lee and won multiple Oscars, Nanwan Beach is the filming location for the end of the movie. The sea is clear and blue, and the beach is beautiful and delicate. It is also one of the representative scenic spots in Kenting National Park and has become the base camp for water sports in Kenting.
