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.

After half a year of planning for Kenting The sea is really very blue and beautiful But the wind in December is really strong Riding a scooter feels like your head is about to be blown off 🗺️Cycling Routes East Line: Kenting Street - Sail Rock - Eluanbi Park - Southernmost Point - Longpan Park - Wind-blown Sand West Line: Kenting Street - Nanwan - Maobitou - Baisha Bay - Hengchun Ancient Town 🚌Transportation From Taipei, take the high-speed rail to Zuoying Station, which takes about two hours; After getting off at Zuoying Station, take Exit 2 and board the Kenting Express, which runs approximately every thirty minutes and takes about two and a half hours. 💡Tips 🌟About Accommodation Since we were traveling by public transportation, we stayed near Kenting Street. There are many guesthouses around, so it's recommended not to trust online photos too much. Look at more guides and guest reviews before deciding; 🌟About Food Most of our main meals were at some stir-fry restaurants, and the taste was generally average. Almost every stir-fry place has a local specialty dish called 'Lover's Tears'. The Kenting Night Market is not very big, so don't have too high expectations for food. Personally, I think Kenting is more about the island scenery; 🌟When renting a scooter, make sure to check the battery level!!! Even if the owner says the battery is enough, be sure to double-check and ask how to handle compensation if the battery runs out midway. Test if the phone can be reached. We had a big issue with renting a scooter, so compare multiple shops and read more rental guides; 🌟Be cautious about cycling around the island in winter. We wore short sleeves because it looked sunny outside, but the strong wind made us question our life choices. We turned back at Eluanbi Park and gave up on the West Line cycling.

Kenting Night Market is a vibrant hub in Taiwan, with its main street teeming with delicious food stalls, lively atmosphere, and entertaining game stalls.

The sky of Kenting is always so blue I thought of the phrase "I am sunny in Kenting" Walking in the streets of Kenting, I always think of the plot in the idol drama. The girl with a hard hat whizzed past her locomotive. Various Taiwanese snacks on Kenting Street at night, Every day feels like a life of emptying.

I have always loved the night market in Taiwan. When the lights are blurred at night, it is the most prosperous moment. The quiet Kenting Street in the daytime, when the Hua Deng first appeared, it became a night market. People's various food shops and stalls are together, and they don't know what to eat. Shuttle in the raging crowd, the aroma of various foods came out. From the street to the end of the street, only hate only one stomach.

Our homestay in Hengchun, going back from Guanshan will pass through Kenting Main Street, we also feel the night market here. Compared to the night market in Taipei, there are many people in the night market in Kenting Street, but the road is wide, so it doesn't look so crowded. The price of snacks here is more expensive than that of Taipei, perhaps because most of the consumers here are tourists. However, if you take a photo, there are good punch points and scenes. Ps
