About Kenting

At the southern tip of Taiwan, Kenting is shaped by its proximity to Kenting National Park, which offers a mix of sandy beaches, tropical forests and outdoor activities. The park features hiking trails that attract enthusiasts, while Eluanbi Lighthouse, with its coastal views, serves as a prominent landmark. Kenting Town, with its lively night market, offers local delicacies and adds to the area's appeal. The beach life is what truly draws visitors, as many come to swim, sunbathe and enjoy the clear waters of the South China Sea. During holidays, the streets can feel festive as the crowds swell, making the atmosphere a noticeable change from quieter times.
