Why go
The county holds Taiwan’s oldest national park at Kenting, with tropical coast and coral terrain beyond its inland settlements. Pingtung City is the county seat, while the Hengchun area leads toward the island’s southern end. Choose a base according to whether the day is about the city and plains or the park and coast.
What to look for
- Kenting National Park on the Hengchun Peninsula
- The southern plains around Pingtung City
- Coral landforms and coast at the island’s southern end
Useful to know
- Give Kenting its own day rather than treating it as a short add-on to Pingtung City.
- Allow weather flexibility for exposed southern-coast plans.
