Kenting National Park travel guide and discussion

Staying at La Casa Indaco - Palm Spring Villa in Kenting Dream Island. We chose the Premier Terrace Double Room, which features its own private balcony and plunge pool. The ground floor common space is absolutely stunning, complete with an open kitchen, living room, pool, and outdoor dining area. The next morning, the butler had an exquisite floating breakfast ready for us. Combined with the pool and the sunshine, it gave off such a tropical Southeast Asian resort vibe 😍. The entire common area is incredibly photogenic. My favorite spot is the view from the poolside loungers, and the outdoor dining sofa area. It’s such a joy to come here and just relax and unwind during vacation! You can also book the whole villa with a group of friends or family for a BBQ. The entire villa can accommodate up to 20 people! Plus, the pool isn't deep, and there are raised stone steps at the far end, making the water shallower and perfect for kids to splash around 💦. Breakfast is included with the stay; the floating breakfast requires an extra charge and should be requested in advance. 📍 La Casa Indaco - Palm Spring Villa, Kenting Dream Island.

I rented a 125cc scooter in Kenting Town for NT$500/day (license required, international permit accepted, NT$100 insurance). The 15km coastal drive from Chuanfanshi (Sailing Rock) north to Baisha Bay is quintessential Taiwan tropical. Chuanfanshi is a large coral reef shaped like a sailboat mast; there’s a small parking lot (NT$50 fee) and a million photo ops. I continued north on Provincial Highway 26, which hugs the coast. The road is winding but well-paved. Baisha Bay (White Sand Bay) has incredibly soft, white coral sand and clear water, making it the best swimming spot in the area. Sunbeds cost NT$200 for the day. I snorkeled near the rocks and saw vibrant parrotfish. Food: I ate a "fried giant prawn" skewer at a roadside stall for NT$150. Mistake: I wore sneakers instead of water shoes at Baisha; the coral sand gets scorching hot by noon. Another error: underestimating the sun—apply reef-safe sunscreen religiously. The scooter gave me total freedom to stop at hidden coves like Jialeshui. Worth it? Definitely. The scooter is the only way to properly explore the Kenting coast at your own pace. The shuttle bus (NT$400 day pass) is slower and less frequent. Question: Does the NT$500 scooter rental provide enough value compared to the hassle of parking and traffic, or is the bus a smarter choice?

📍 Travel Intro: A 5-day, 4-night getaway to Southern Taiwan where I indulged in Kaohsiung’s food scene and night markets before heading to Kenting for some relaxed snorkeling, resort pool time, and ocean views. With minimal travel time between spots, it was surprisingly chill and far more satisfying focusing on food and relaxation over heavy sightseeing! 🚩 Itinerary: Kaohsiung Airport → Kaohsiung City → Kenting → Hengchun → Kaohsiung Airport 🏖️ Highlights: Ruifeng Night Market · Kenting Beach · Houbihu · Longpan Park · Kenting Main Street 🚇 Transport: Used Uber in Kaohsiung and a private car service for a hassle-free transfer between Kaohsiung and Kenting. 📷 Photo Spots: Longpan Park · Kenting Beach · Caesar Park Private Beach · Houbihu Coast 🍜 Must-Eats: Pork Trotter Rice · Haidilao · Din Tai Fung · Fresh Kenting Seafood · Night Market Snacks 🏠 Where I Stayed: Kaohsiung – Zela Design Hotel Kenting – Caesar Park Hotel Kenting 💡 Travel Tips: Kaohsiung is all about the food and night market energy, while Kenting offers a pure resort escape—the two vibes complement each other perfectly. Spending three nights in Kenting just lounging by the pool and the beach was a highlight. Since the pace wasn't rushed, the whole trip was incredibly rewarding. One-line Summary: 🌴 If your goal is to eat, swim, beach, and repeat, this Southern Taiwan trip is for you!

Biking along Taitung's Guanshan Town-Circling Cycling Trail, followed by a leisurely stroll around the small town of Guanshan, sets the perfect pace for a relaxing day trip 🙌 This biking trail is about 12 kilometers long and features a flat, easy-to-ride route. It takes about 1 to 1.5 hours to complete a full loop. However, if you plan to take photos and stop to admire the scenery along the way, I highly recommend setting aside 2 to 3 hours for a more laid-back experience 🚴♀️🌾 Along the journey, in addition to the beautiful rice paddies, mountain views, and rustic landscapes, I also made a stop at the Mi Guo School to check out some farm art. This spot exudes a wonderful countryside artistic vibe, blending rural spaces with creativity. Stepping inside gives you that distinctively relaxed "Taitung" atmosphere 🎨🌻 The local street food I grabbed along the way definitely elevated the trip! I tried stinky tofu, Paopao ice (Taiwanese shaved ice), and peanut brittle ice cream 🧆🍧 The stinky tofu was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and pairing it with pickled cabbage was super satisfying; the Paopao ice was smooth, refreshing, and the perfect way to beat the heat; as for the peanut brittle ice cream, it had an amazing crunch and rich peanut flavor without being overly sweet, making it the ideal post-ride treat 🍦🥜✨ Quick Tips ✨ 🟨 Start your ride early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the intense sun 🟨 Rent an e-bike if you want to save some energy 🟨 Even though the path is flat, comfortable shoes and sun protection are still a must 🟨 If you want to fit in the Mi Guo School, street food, and biking all at a relaxed pace, it’s best to dedicate a full day 🟨 Be sure to bring water, as there aren't many convenience stores along the trail Town-Circling Cycling Trail Stinky Tofu Food Bento 📍956, Taiwan, Taitung County, Guanshan Township, No. 10 Public Market 📍Xiangcun Stinky Tofu 📍Yongquan Peanut Brittle, Strawberry Almond Brittle 📍Mi Guo School - Guanshan Farmers' Association Leisure Tourism Center

During my recent stay at "Hong Chai Ju - Mountain Sea Corner," my first impression was how much more spacious the rooms were than I expected, and everything was impeccably clean. The twin room we stayed in was incredibly comfortable. The beds, the room itself, and the common areas were all kept spotless. Even with our suitcases fully open, there was still plenty of room to move around. Located in Hongchaikeng, it's just a 5-minute walk to the local fishing port—perfect for an evening stroll to catch the sunset. 🌅 Unlike the accommodations near Kenting Main Street where it's constantly bustling, this place offers a much more serene vacation vibe. It’s the perfect balance: exploring Kenting's attractions during the day and returning to this peaceful retreat at night. I found this setup really relaxing. 📍Hong Chai Ju - Mountain Sea Corner No. 3-6, Hongchai Rd., Hengchun Township, Pingtung County

#howislivingthere Warm wind sweeps across golden sandy shores of Kenting, bringing soft sea breeze and breathtaking turquoise ocean scenery. The boundless clear sea stretches to the horizon under bright sunlight, forming stunning natural landscapes unique to southern Taiwan. Visitors wander the shore casually, lying on sand or strolling along the coastline without rush. Everyone looks relaxed and peaceful, fully immersed in the soothing coastal vibe. The perfect mix of wind, sand and sparkling waves creates an incredibly comforting getaway, capturing the laid-back charm of Kenting’s seaside.

Located on the Hengchun Peninsula in Pingtung County at the southern tip of Taiwan, Kenting National Park is Taiwan's very first national park, established in 1982. Spanning both land and sea, the park boasts lush tropical flora, unique coral reef landscapes, and famous attractions like the Kenting National Forest Recreation Area, Eluanbi Park, and Longpan Park. The park features remarkable uplifted coral reefs, spectacular limestone caves (such as the Fairy Cave and Silver Dragon Cave), and the breathtaking "A Thread of Sky" gorge. Ecological wonders: It is home to a diverse array of tropical forests, showcasing massive white banyans, ancient autumn maple trees, and the impressive buttress roots of the looking-glass tree. Popular destinations: Don't miss out on the Kenting Street Night Market, Eluanbi Lighthouse, Baisha Bay, and Longpan Park.

This winding hiking trail strikes the perfect balance in difficulty—neither too arduous nor overly dull. Visitors can ascend at a leisurely pace and easily reach the summit in just about 20 minutes. At the top, you are greeted by a series of carefully designed observation decks, thoughtfully positioned to offer unparalleled, breathtaking views. From these vantage points, you can clearly see the entire estuary of the Sizhong River, where the majestic meeting of river and sea captivates the soul. In the distance, the National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium sparkles like a jewel nestled between the ocean and the sky. Without a doubt, with its moderate challenge, easy accessibility, and stunning scenery, this trail offers a highly rewarding hike that is absolutely worth experiencing for yourself.

Just got back from the island|Honestly advising everyone not to come in August or September! Full record of all the pitfalls faced 😭 Just finished circling the island. To be honest, visiting Taiwan in August and September seriously affects the experience. Here’s a summary of my real travel impressions. If you’re planning a trip, please read this before deciding! ❌ Four major reasons to avoid August and September—unavoidable hassles 1. High heat and humidity make it unbearably muggy, hard to spend time outdoors The whole island has a year-round humidity above 80% in summer. Taipei and Taichung daytime temperatures stay steady at 33–36℃, and southern Kenting even exceeds 38℃. The heat feels intense, with perceived temperatures close to 40℃. Walking outside for just a few minutes leaves you sticky and sweaty. Hiking Yangmingshan, Alishan, climbing the hills of Pingxi Old Street and Jiufen Mountain Town is a struggle. Between noon and 3 PM, outdoor activities are impossible—you’ll get dizzy and overheated after just a few steps. Afternoons almost always bring sudden short heavy rain. One moment it’s bright sun, the next it’s pouring. Cameras and belongings get soaked easily, and plans get frequently interrupted. 2. Typhoon season means trips can be canceled at any time July to September is the peak typhoon season, with August at its highest and September’s autumn typhoons generally stronger and less predictable. When a typhoon warning is issued, these problems happen: ✅ Many flights between Taiwan and mainland China are delayed or canceled, and ferries stop running ✅ Suhua Highway and the entire eastern route through Hualien and Taitung close, ruining island tours ✅ Alishan, Taroko Gorge, and coastal Kenting attractions close temporarily ✅ Local authorities suspend work and school, night markets, shops, and attractions shut down, leaving you stuck in your hotel Some friends planned an 8-day island tour but got stuck in Taipei for 3 days due to a typhoon. Half their trip was canceled, and it’s hard to get full refunds for flights and hotels. 3. The lunar Ghost Festival month dampens the atmosphere From mid-August to mid-September is the Ghost Month, a traditional local festival that affects travel: Many locals avoid traveling, and some mountain and seaside spots are considered taboo to visit; several outdoor events and night markets reduce their schedules; mountain inns and countryside shops close early, so you won’t experience the usual lively island nightlife. 4. High risks for island tours mean you miss the best mountain and sea views Taiwan’s highlights fall into two categories: eastern sea cliffs and mountains with clouds and lakes, all limited by summer weather. Heat and showers cause thick mountain fog. Visibility at Sun Moon Lake, Qingjing Farm, and Hehuan Mountain is very low, making it impossible to capture clear, stunning photos. Strong winds and waves on the east coast lead to temporary closures of cliff trails, so you can’t get close to the breathtaking Pacific coastline. Even beach activities in Kenting are restricted during typhoon warnings—no snorkeling or surfing allowed, making the trip pointless. ✅ If your trip is already booked|Emergency travel tips for August and September If you can’t change your dates, follow these tips to reduce risks: 1. Skip the island tour and stick to northern cities Focus on indoor spots in Taipei and New Taipei: Taipei 101, cultural and creative districts, museums, and art galleries. Stay indoors during the day to avoid the heat, then visit Shilin and Raohe night markets in the evening. Avoid eastern, mountainous, and coastal long-distance routes. 2. Strictly avoid peak heat hours Go out between 6:30 AM and 9 AM to explore old streets and Jiufen; return to your hotel for a midday rest; head out again after 5 PM to avoid the midday heat. 3. Must-have travel items High-SPF waterproof sunscreen, cooling arm sleeves, sun hat, portable raincoat, large water bottle, herbal remedy for heatstroke, mosquito repellent. Bring a light jacket because malls have very cold air conditioning, and switching between hot and cold can cause colds. 4. Buy travel insurance Make sure your policy covers typhoons and flight cancellations. This can help recover some losses if your trip is disrupted. Check weather alerts daily and adjust your plans flexibly. 🌟 Best times to visit Taiwan year-round (precise recommendations) ▪️ March to May spring|Top choice! Temperatures 20–28℃, little rain, cherry blossoms at Yangmingshan and flower seas at Alishan bloom, perfect for hiking and island tours ▪️ October to November fall|Best season! Typhoons are gone, dry and cool, clear mountain and sea views, stunning cloud seas and coastlines for photos, ideal for self-driving island tours ❌ July to September|High heat, heavy rain, and typhoons combine—avoid unless necessary 💡 Final honest advice Taiwan’s mountains, seas, night markets, and culture are truly worth visiting, but the seasonal differences are huge. If it’s your first time and you want to see the coastline, mountain lakes, and hidden villages all at once, definitely avoid August and September. If you just want to explore city night markets and indoor cultural spots, prepare well for the heat and typhoons before you go!

Day 1: We hit the road from Kaohsiung after a good night's sleep, making a pit stop at Zhutian Station—a century-old Japanese-style wooden railway station. Beating the heat under the blazing sun, we grabbed some delicious, low-fat gelato right next to the station. 2 Days 1 Night in Hengchun & Kenting Day 1: We hit the road from Kaohsiung after a good night's sleep, making a pit stop at Zhutian Station—a century-old Japanese-style wooden railway station. Beating the heat under the blazing sun, we grabbed some delicious, low-fat gelato right next to the station. For lunch, we hit up the food stalls in Checheng and tried Uncle Fu's new dish: dry tossed noodles with spicy century egg. It definitely had a kick! We checked into our hotel in the afternoon. This was our third time staying at the Armani Hotel; it had the same great vibe and exotic flair, but gave us a completely different experience this time around. The wading pool brought out the biggest, most genuine smiles from the kids. The moms and sisters weren't slacking off either—we dressed up in exotic Middle Eastern outfits and had a blast taking Insta-worthy photos. Dinner was at A-Jia Geng Tao Xiao Cui. We thought the menu was a bit pricey at first, but when the food arrived, the whole table was absolutely shocked! The portions were ridiculously huge and looked picture-perfect. At night, we took a drive up to Longpan Park, gazing up at the Big Dipper to find the North Star. The weather was on our side, making for an incredibly beautiful night. Day 2: We woke up early so the kids could hop back into the pool while the adults kept soaking up the hotel's relaxing vibe. After checking out, we headed to a new spot in Hengchun called "Lion in There". It features a spectacular and highly realistic animal collection—a fantastic place to snap photos and escape the sun. Lunch was at Zamen de Seafood Restaurant in Houbihu. It's your standard seafood joint, but the easy parking was a major plus. With full bellies, we took our time hitting the road back home, bringing a great end to our little getaway.

When visiting Houbihu, everyone comes for the sashimi. The assorted sashimi at Yizhilin is cut into incredibly thick and generous slices. It's exceptionally fresh, offering a firm and springy texture rather than being soft and mushy. Freshly caught live lobster🦞 Seasonal price The meat of the live lobster is extremely firm, crisp, and springy, carrying a delightful, lingering sweetness. With just a gentle nudge of your chopsticks, the entire chunk of lobster meat peels away effortlessly. Taking a massive bite is absolutely satisfying! The restaurant's other stir-fried dishes are also top-notch! The ingredients are fresh, and the portions are impressively generous—you'll find yourself polishing off an extra two bowls of rice before you know it. Even if someone in your group doesn't eat sashimi, these piping hot, authentically Taiwanese stir-fries will definitely leave everyone thoroughly satisfied.

2025.12.2 Since I was a child, I have watched "Sunny Kenting." Back then, Kenting only existed on the screen for me—it felt a bit far and a bit dreamy. This time, because the exchange period is only four months, I spent the early part of the trip in the rainy eastern region during winter, and only had the chance to come to Kenting in December. I stayed in Kaohsiung myself, so it took quite a bit of time to transfer from Kaohsiung to Hengchun (Taiwan Railways says the Hengchun line will open in 2025, right?). With limited time, I’m sharing my route this time, mainly focusing on the east line, but covering all the core highlights: First, there are many ways to get from Kaohsiung to Kenting. I only tried two relatively direct options: Option 1: From Kaohsiung High School Station near Kaohsiung Station, you can take bus 9188 directly to Eluanbi. Or take bus 9117 from Kaohsiung High School Station directly to North Kenting. Option 2: Take Taiwan Railways to Fangliao Station, or take the Kenting Express Line 9189 from Zuoying High-Speed Rail Station, which can get you to Xiaowan or Kenting Police Station. After arriving at Kenting National Park, there are basically Ubike stations along the route, but beyond the Kenting Resort area, only Chuanfan Rock and Eluanbi have 7-11 convenience stores. So this time I started from Chuanfan Rock (Photos 8, 9). → Shadao, where the seawater layers into several colors, and there is a shell research institute. I stopped here for about half an hour to take photos (Photos 2, 3, 6, 11, 12). → Eluanbi, the landmark lighthouse of the Hengchun Peninsula, pure white and very beautiful. The entrance fee is 60 TWD (Photo 5). → Taiwan’s southernmost point, where you can see both the Pacific Ocean and the Bashi Channel at once. The ecology here is excellent, but this section cannot be cycled and must be walked (Photo 7). → Longpan Park, this section is almost all uphill and a bit tough, but once you arrive, there is a very vast coastline with an unobstructed view of the entire east coast of the Hengchun Peninsula. However, the wind is very strong (Photos 13, 14). → Wind-blown Sand, connected seamlessly with the coastline of Longpan Park (Photo 15). → Manzhou Beach, another highlight of this section, where you can always see the Pacific Ocean along the highway with great views (Photos 1, 4, 16, 17). If cycling, this section takes about 2 hours. Since I also wanted to visit Hengchun Old Town (Photo 10), it was about time to head back. The return trip has more downhill sections, so it’s easier. You can return the bike at Eluanbi and then wait for the bus back to Hengchun. This route basically follows the Taiwan Provincial Highway 26 E-Jia section and is one of the most beautiful highways in Taiwan. But cycling here is really sunny, so be sure to take good sun protection measures.

This is a cluster of themed vacation villas designed as a resort village. To be honest, it's located in a rather lively area 😅. We didn't stay here, just came to take some photos. It seems like there aren't many guests on weekdays, and a few villas appear to be closed or under renovation. There is a dedicated parking lot, but it supposedly charges 500 TWD per hour for non-residents, though we're not sure if that's true. Anyway, we just parked casually by the roadside. The colorful houses are vibrant and very photogenic, reminding me of Burano Island in Venice. It's a great spot for taking photos and checking in on social media, especially since there were no crowds. There's also a swimming pool inside, but it seems unused. Perhaps it's only open during summer. As for the interior of the villas, we're not sure. However, considering the convenience of the location, I personally wouldn't choose to stay here 😂. That said, the room rates aren't too outrageous, with weekday prices currently around 2,000-3,000 TWD per night.

🌊 Morning The sound of waves knocks on the door to dreams before anything else. Throwing open the floor-to-ceiling windows, blue sky, white clouds, and azure sea burst into view. The surface shimmers with the morning light, and neatly arranged thatched umbrellas on the beach quietly guard this golden shoreline. ⸻ ☀️ Daytime I love sitting by the window, letting the sea breeze bring a cool breeze, my eyes following the breath of the waves. The midday sun paints the sea an even bluer hue, and the warming afternoon light shimmers the surface with a honey-colored hue. Every moment here is unhurried, as if time has tied a knot at the seaside. ⸻ 🏝 Beach Time The fine sand gently embraces every step, fitting the soles of the feet as if with memory. The waves roll in, one after another, with a soft yet resolute rhythm. The daylight shimmers with golden blue, and at dusk, the sea and sky merge into one, melted by the setting sun. ⸻ 🌌 At Night The room was so quiet that only the sea could be heard. The sound of waves, wave after wave, was still clear in the darkness, extending the day's scenery into my dreams. If you're staying at the hotel all day, I recommend heading over to Nossa Bistro next door for dinner. The intoxicating aroma of wine, the lights, and the delicious food perfectly extend the day's lazy and romantic atmosphere. ⸻ 🎯 Fun Activities at the Hotel · Nighttime Sand Crab Tour | Follow your guide to the beach under moonlight and watch the tiny sand crabs scurry along the sand, like a hidden life adding to the nightscape. · Archery Experience | During the day, you can try archery at the hotel and experience the concentration and joy of drawing the bow. It's also a great place to take photos. ⸻ ⚡ A Thoughtful Discovery The hotel offers four free electric car charging spaces, a great convenience for travelers driving electric cars. Upon arrival, you can relax and unwind without having to search for a charging station for several days. ⸻ 🏨 The Personalities of the Three Hotels · Pro Hotel | First-floor ocean view rooms offer a direct access to the pool and just a few steps to the beach, perfect for a relaxing family trip. · Marbella Hotel | Ocean view rooms with balconies overlooking the blue sky and golden sand, creating a romantic atmosphere from sunrise to sunset. · Positano Hotel | Located right on the beach, with expansive views, perfect for those who enjoy a quiet sea gaze. ⸻ 📍 #ChateauBeachHotel #KentingResort 🌊 #Pro Hotel Family Room #Marbella Hotel Ocean View Room 🏖 #PrivateBeach #SeaviewFirstRow 🍷 #NossaRestaurant #KentingFood ⚡ #ElectricCarFriendly #FreeChargingParking 🦀 #NightSandCrabVisit #ArcheryExperience 🌅 #SouthernHoliday #BeachLife 💙 #IGTravelDiary #TravelerDaily

Kenting is famous for its beach and ocean. The place is full of summer vide, so it’s the best place to spend your summer vacation. ✨Things to do✨ 🌊Swim, SUP, Snorkeling: You can swim in the ocean as well as experience standup paddling. I recommended: 心海潛水中心 & SUP as they have the most professional coach and well-equipped facilities. This was my first time standing on the surfboard, and the coach was very patient to me. He keeps encouraging me, letting me feel very connected with the ocean and even do yoga on it. He also helped me take good photos to capture precious memories. 🪩Every year in April, Taiwan Music Festival is hosted there. It’s free entry, so you can enjoy music as well as meet new like-minded people together there for free. 🛤️Transportation Train to Fanliao->9189 bus to Kenting 🏡Accommodation There are many hostels at Kenting Street, but it’s better to book it beforehand if you’re going there during the peak time like the music festival. ✨Recommended spots✨ 📍Kenting Night Market: All the Taiwanese local food is here😋 📍Eluanbi Lighthouse: it is the most southern spot in Taiwan. 📍Kenting Baishawan: the ocean is clean and the sand is relatively white 📍Shan-Chuan Suspension Bridge, Fanliao: it is a place full of indigenous culture and some people will sell special indigenous food there. Kenting is a good place to create your summer memories with friends and families. If you love the ocean, do not lose the chance to dive into the ocean of Kenting💕🌊 #旅行灵感 #海滩 #kenting #kentingtravel #beach #beachlife #beachvacation #beachvibes #beachtime #ocean #yoga #standuppaddle #yoga #nature

This time we stayed at Kenting Yiwan Resort Hotel, we chose the "Elite Two-bed Room" mainly because we wanted the children to play in the public facilities, so we didn't book a special theme room. The room is simple overall, the cleanliness and space are OK, but to be honest, there are not many surprises. But the public facilities are pretty good! There are children's play areas and swimming pools for water play. After a day, the children's physical energy is just right, and the adults can also relax a little. I really think this hotel is very suitable for parent-child travel, and the facilities take into account the needs of children. We did not choose to dine in the hotel, because there are McDonald's and Starbucks next to it, so there is no pressure to solve three meals. The location is also very convenient, and there is a parking lot for car owners, which is a big plus for us. Overall, if the itinerary is mainly "parent-child release", this hotel will be a good choice. Next time I have the opportunity to visit again, I will consider looking at their parent-child theme rooms, which will feel more interesting~ #Kenting Accommodation #Taiwan Parent-child Hotel #Parent-child Travel #Taiwan Tourism #Parent-child Facilities #Accommodation Experience Sharing

Kenting's new hotel is absolutely stunning! The high atrium paired with the sleek spiral staircase creates a breathtaking design. Sunlight filters through the transparent swimming pool on the ceiling, casting shimmering water reflections that gently flow across the lobby—it's a truly dreamy atmosphere.✨ If you don't feel like going out to find food, the hotel also features a bistro and bar. The overall ambiance is quite pleasant, making it a great spot for chatting and unwinding. Even if you're not staying at the hotel, you can still come by for a meal! 📍 Hotel dùa Kenting No. 5, Wenhua Lane, Kenting Road, Hengchun Township, Pingtung County

It is no exaggeration to say that it is the most beautiful hotel in Kenting. I was the first to check in during the trial operation. The feeling when I drove into the hotel was different. The parking lot was very bright. I took the elevator to the lobby CI. The service staff introduced the decoration concept of the lobby. It was built with the concept of environmental protection. The most eye-catching thing is definitely the spiral staircase, which is one-piece and super beautiful. 😍 The room is a sea view room, with slippers, capsule coffee machine, Mini bar, bathtub, bathrobe, and even toiletries are from famous French brands. It really feels like a vacation, so great, the bed is very comfortable to lie on, and even the sofa chair next to it is very comfortable. The breakfast the next day is ordered, and the service staff will deliver the meal to the seat immediately. It is very delicious, especially the seafood porridge and beef noodles 😂. The sofa is very spacious and comfortable, you must sit there! In addition, the location of the hotel is great. Whether you go to Kenting Street or the beach🏖️, it only takes 1 minute to walk. I highly recommend that you choose the brand new and high-quality Hotel dua when you go to Kenting👍 📍Address: No. 5, Wenhua Lane, Kenting Road, Hengchun Township, Pingtung County 💰Average consumption: 2900 #Kenting#Duakenting
