Kenting Beaches Travel Guide – Taiwan’s Southern Jewel

Southernmost tip of Taiwan

Welcome to the southern tip of Taiwan! Kenting, located at the southern tip of the island, is one of the top three hot-spots for tourists in Taiwan. This part of Formosa has a national park, gorgeous beaches, ecological protection areas, old villages, green hills, and fishing harbors. Make sure to pay me a little visit at […]

Oh yeah baby, we’re having a drink (or 10!) tonight! You are so at the perfect place to start your search for Kenting nightlife. I’ve been traveling / living around the Kenting / Hengchun / Manzhou area for more than 1 years, so I know the best spots all over the place. Ready…? Leave your […]

Manzhou Travel Guide

Manzhou village

The laid-back side of Kenting National Park Manzhou is a place for people who enjoy solitude, quitness, the fauna, and beautiful landscapes. Welcome to one of the most beautiful places in Taiwan! Manzhou is a beautiful countryside township in the north-eastern part of Kenting National Park. I know this area very well because that’s where […]

Snorkeling at Wanlitong Beach

Wanlitong 萬里桐, a small village (and a beach) just north of Baisha Bay, is one of the best spots for snorkeling in Kenting National Park. The reef is somewhat well-preserved and still colorful, and you can see quite a lot of sea life on most days. The easiest access to the reef is at the […]

Houwan (Back Bay), Kenting

houwan back bay kenting

Houwan means “back bay” in Chinese. It’s quite an appropriate name, because it really feels like you are behind the scene and out of sight, away from the crowds, traffic, and hectic action that is found in Kenting Village, Baisha Beach, and Hengchun. Houwan is an old and quiet fisherman village that has until recently […]

Donggang, Pingtung County

Donggang is definitely not the most exciting place in Taiwan. It’s a pretty uninspiring and chaotic city, and as is expected of port towns, it’s quite rough around the edges. But it is a REALLY popular place you still may want to visit. So why is Donggang so popular and why does it keep coming up in […]

Xiao Liuqiu (Little Liuqiu) Travel Guide

Fishing harbor Xiao Liuqiu Island

Xiao Liuqiu is the small island located in the Taiwan Strait, not too far southeast of Kaohsiung City. In recent years, the island has seen an explosion in numbers of tourists (mostly young local Taiwanese) who make the short journey by fast ferry to its shores to dive, snorkel, eat seafood, or just ride a […]

Sail Rock, (Chuanfanshi) 船帆石

sail rock kenting drone

Sail Rock is the third most popular place where people stay in Kenting National Park after Kenting Town, and Nanwan (South Bay). It is located about 10 minutes south of Kenting Village. In Mandarin Chinese, Sail Rock is called 船帆石 (Chuan Fanshi). Why stay at Sail Rock? A lot of people, myself included, think that […]

Hike at Xuhai Grassland -旭海大草原

xuhai grassland taiwan

The Xuhai Grassland offers some of the most breathtaking coastal views along all of Taiwan’s rugged east coast. I love this place so much, there are very few tourists (even on weekends) and it’s just 20 minutes away from my house! 🙂 I think it’s one of the coolest spot on the island, and you […]

Chufengbi Trail in Kenting National Park

hiking kenting chufengbi

If you are planning on hiking the Chufengbi Trail between Nanrenlu (南仁路) and Jialeshui (佳樂水), in Kenting National Park, think twice. At first, I thought my biggest problem was going to be hitching a ride back home at the end of the trek. Turns out you can’t even legally hike the Chufengbi path! It’s a real […]
