Taiwan's southern tip, with tropical beaches, coral reefs, rugged coastline and the white Eluanbi Lighthouse. It's popular for swimming, snorkelling, surfing and the busy night market in Kenting town.


It's crowded at weekends and in summer. Rent a scooter to explore. It's about 2 hours by bus from Kaohsiung.
