Night Market Vibes and Southern Sunshine: A Culinary Exploration of Kenting Street Night Market.

Day 1: This trip to Taipei and Kenting is a blend of the northern city and southern passion. In the morning, I took the high-speed rail from Taipei to Kaohsiung, then transferred to a car heading to Kenting. The scenery changed from urban to coastal along the way, heightening my anticipation. Upon arrival, I checked into a beachside B&B, where the owner's warm hospitality made me feel right at home. In the afternoon, I visited the famous Kenting National Park. At the Windblown Sand Lookout, the seamless connection between the azure ocean and blue sky was breathtaking, and the sea breeze was incredibly refreshing. Next, I visited Longpan Park, where the vast grasslands and magnificent sea views felt like a paradise. I also checked in at the nearby Eluanbi Lighthouse, a landmark standing at Taiwan's southernmost point and one of Kenting's most iconic symbols. As night fell, I eagerly headed to Kenting Street Night Market, a bustling hub of lights, crowds, and delicious food. The night market offered a plethora of snacks. I started with freshly grilled seafood skewers, where the sweet flavors of shrimp and squid were unforgettable. Then, I tried Kenting's unique tropical fruit smoothies, with rich mango and passion fruit aromas bursting in my mouth, cooling and refreshing. There were also savory and crispy fried chicken cutlets and various creative drinks, each bite filled with Kenting's passion and vitality. Day 2: On the second day, I returned to Taipei with a relaxed mood to continue exploring the city's charm. In the morning, I visited Yangmingshan National Park, climbed Qingtian Gang to admire the vast alpine grasslands, and felt the magical power of nature at the Xiaoyoukeng sulfur geothermal area. For lunch, I chose Shilin Market, where oyster omelets and braised pork rice are must-haves, with rich flavors that linger. In the afternoon, I strolled through Huashan 1914 Creative Park, visited several interesting exhibitions, and enjoyed a leisurely time at a unique café. The creative market there also allowed me to find some unique souvenirs as mementos of this trip. In the evening, I ended my itinerary at a Taipei night market, enjoying the last night market delicacies like salt and pepper chicken and bubble tea. The lively atmosphere concluded the trip perfectly. From the vibrant flavors of Kenting Street Night Market to the cultural and urban charm of Taipei, this journey was an in-depth exploration of Taiwan's northern and southern landscapes, leaving me with many surprises and emotions.
