Hengchun Travel Guide

hengchun ancient gate and wall

Gateway to beautiful Kenting National Park! Hengchun is the main big town in the Kenting area. Not too long ago, passing through this place was seen as a big annoyance. Even today, when I mention it, some people will ask: “Oh, is that the ugly city north of Kenting?” Yes, it is.  I must admit […]

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 […]
