2026 Pingtung Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in January)

If, like me, your expectations for "what to eat" have long surpassed just the taste itself, then Bai Xiaoyu will likely win you over. Located in Shengli New Village, Pingtung, nestled among a row of well-preserved old houses, it has no conspicuous signboard, yet the moment you approach, its wooden windows, warm lighting, and red lanterns at the entrance gently draw you in. The biggest plus is—parking is incredibly easy in this area. No need to drive around looking for a parking spot; in Pingtung city on a weekend, this is already a huge advantage. ⸻ The renovated old house space naturally creates a sense of tranquility. Bai Xiaoyu's space retains the original structural language of the old houses in Shengli New Village: dark wooden beams, lattice windows, wooden floors, paired with low tables and chairs and round cushions. The overall height is deliberately lowered, automatically relaxing the body as soon as you sit down. I really appreciate their treatment of "negative space"—not filling the space, but using wooden display stands, woven lampshades, and rattan details to slowly guide the eye to the materials themselves. There are several semi-open seating areas, separated by pillars and height differences, ensuring a quiet environment even when full—a very mature way of reusing an old building. ⸻ Beyond the hot pot, there are perfectly balanced side dishes. When the main pot arrives, the broth is steaming hot, without an overly strong aroma of spices, but rather a clean and enjoyable taste. The accompanying side dishes are memorable: braised tofu, edamame, pickles, and handmade noodles, each placed in a perfectly placed spot, not overpowering, but completing the meal. The dessert was surprisingly my favorite—a bowl of pudding with a caramelized top that makes a crisp sound when tapped, soft inside, and with a strong sweetness, like a quiet conclusion to the meal. ⸻ When is the best time to visit Bai Xiaoyu? If you're looking for: • ✔️ Restaurants in Pingtung City with easy parking • ✔️ Spaces where you can linger without feeling rushed • ✔️ A connection to old houses, woodwork, and the atmosphere of the space • ✔️ Not flashy, but appreciating the overall experience Then Bai Xiao Yu is a safe and comfortable choice. It's not the kind of place that will "amaze you from the first bite," but rather the kind of place that will leave a lasting impression of the space and the moment you're in. ⸻ 📍 Restaurant Information Summary • Name: Bai Xiao Yu • Location: Shengli New Village, Pingtung • Features: Old house space, easy parking • Suitable for: Chatting with friends, dining alone, or a leisurely meal #Pingtung #PingtungRestaurantReview #ShengliNewVillage, Pingtung

If you're looking for a restaurant in Pingtung with a great atmosphere, exquisite cuisine, and an eye-catching experience, let me recommend SHIORI, which was shortlisted for Pingtung's 100 Best Bowls! 🌟 Dining Highlights SHIORI's menu is very thoughtfully designed, divided into donburi (rice bowls), set meals, and fried dishes. My friend ate the "Charcoal Grilled Chicken Set Meal" twice in one week, and I personally think it offers better value than the donburi! However, I wish there were more drink options ☺️ 🏡 Atmosphere and Service: A Top Choice for Small Groups The restaurant's decor is understated yet elegant Japanese style, giving a calm and sophisticated feel. The lighting is beautiful, and the atmosphere is great, making it perfect for couples' dates or small groups of friends looking for a relaxing place to chat! 💡 Tips! I highly recommend making a reservation in advance—it fills up very easily during dinner hours. We made a reservation for 7:30 pm on a weekday, and it was completely full in no time 😧 The food service also became very slow. ✅ Summary: I would come again! SHIORI has successfully created a dining space in Pingtung that is full of modern style and Japanese charm. If you're tired of ordinary casual meals or snacks and want something more refined and tasteful, you definitely won't regret coming to SHIORI! Recommendation rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #PingtungRestaurants #PingtungRestaurantReview #PingtungFood

Located next to Fangliao Station, the "Blue Shoes Image Gallery" combines a bohemian style with nostalgic railway elements, exuding a slow-paced travel atmosphere from the check-in counter to the exhibition space. 🚂 The gallery showcases the story of the Blue Shoes Relief Train's revival and also sells drinks and souvenirs, allowing travelers to relax before their journey. ☕️ Passengers taking the Blue Shoes Relief Train must first check in at the Blue Shoes Image Gallery, and then be escorted by staff to a designated platform at Fangliao Station to board the train. This "non-air-conditioned train," featuring retro hanging fans, green sofas, and operable windows, runs between Fangliao and Taitung, connecting characteristic small stations such as Jialu, Dawu, and Taimali along the way. 🚉 Starting from the Blue Shoes Image Gallery, a nostalgic railway journey from Fangliao allows travelers to rediscover a long-lost sense of slow living amidst the sea breeze and the sound of the tracks. 🪁 #BlueSkinImagePavilion #BlueSkinWorryReliefJourney

📍 Xiaoliuqiu | Pingtung's Blue Paradise 🕶 Recommended Season: Spring and Summer are the best times for water activities! When you come to Xiaoliuqiu, embrace the sunshine and sea breeze! This trip included diving, canoeing, and electric bicycles around the island. From the underwater world to the coastal highway, every moment was dreamlike 💙 Every sea view photo is beautiful! 🤿 Diving Experience: My first time diving, I saw many sea turtles and tropical fish 🐠! The instructor was super friendly and patiently guided beginners, so there was no need to be nervous at all! We took many photos to remember the trip! 🛶 Canoeing Adventure: Floating in the sunlight, the whole world seemed to slow down. 🌈 ⚡️ Island Mini-Trip: In the afternoon, I rented electric bicycles 🚲💨 and rode around Xiaoliuqiu Island, enjoying the sea view, sea breeze, and ice cream. Along the way, there were many cute little attractions and viewpoints, and you could also see many temples ⛩️, each with its own unique characteristics and a vibrant atmosphere of worship. The island's residents are devout, adding a touch of local culture to the trip. However, a special note—the sun is incredibly strong ☀️ Remember to wear sunscreen! My skin peeled for days after I got back; it really does "pay the price for sunburn" 😂 #TaiwanOutlyingIslands

This was a spontaneous trip. I had no plans and just wanted to have fun. I hadn't been to Kenting for a long time. I happened to see someone passing by on the road, so I searched online for an inexpensive B&B. I didn't have high expectations at first, but it turned out to be a B&B with good value. For more than 1,000 yuan, you can stay in Kenting with a beautiful sea view. Although it is not particularly large, it has a balcony and a hot tub with a sea view. The environment is clean and hygienic, and the owner is friendly. Although there is no breakfast, there are snacks, biscuits, drinks, instant noodles, brewed drinks, and filter coffee. You can have a good time in the B&B. Although it is next to the Pinge Highway, it is really quiet at night and you can't hear any cars. I will come again if I have the chance.

About 20 minutes by train from Kaohsiung, you arrive at Pingtung Station. From there, it's about another hour by bus to reach the mountainous Sandimen area. Although there aren't many buses, departing in the morning allows you to catch the morning performances. At the Pingtung bus stop, it's recommended to take the bus heading to Sandimen Township. Crossing the beautiful bridge in Sandimen Village, you'll find a park that serves as a vast open-air museum showcasing the culture and lifestyle of Taiwan's indigenous peoples. The buildings and costumes in the exhibition area are all stunning, with meticulous attention to detail. The traditional dance performances, held twice a day, are incredibly powerful. While photography is not allowed, it was a precious experience to feel the energy of the songs and dances up close. A shuttle bus operates within the park, and the staff will guide you to your destination. On the day of the visit, it wasn't crowded, and the locals warmly interacted with us, even playing Japanese music, making us feel genuinely welcomed. During the stroll, you can also enjoy local dishes such as sticky rice cooked in bamboo tubes. In the tranquil mountains, you can leisurely immerse yourself in Taiwan's traditional culture, making it a highlight of the trip. It's recommended to check the return bus schedule with plenty of time. The staff provides detailed guidance, so you can return with peace of mind. The mountainous area of Pingtung is a beautiful region with tropical landscapes like banana and palm plantations. It's a memorable spot where you can experience a different charm of Taiwan, away from the city.

#trip: The top choice for family getaways #CityTour #AutumnFamilyTours #Pingtung City Attractions: Pingyan 1936 Cultural Center One of the highlights of this trip to Pingtung~ Highlights: ✍🏻: An all-you-can-eat, immersive experience What is immersive? Basically, it's an interactive experience, like #teamlab or something like that. Upon entering, we first visited Dawu Mountain and the Palace Museum special exhibition. Dawu Mountain is truly stunning, breathtakingly beautiful, and the space is huge. It's usually pretty busy, so children can run and play freely. The Palace Museum special exhibition is about people transforming into butterflies. I don't know why, but I personally find it a bit unlucky. Hahahaha, maybe it's influenced by Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai 🤔. And everyone's wings are different. Next, we went back to the Tobacco Museum. Everyone was taking pictures and looking incredibly Instagrammable, but it was actually quite hot inside. Then we had to walk up a long staircase. I couldn't really take any good photos 😅. But the dim light was really nice ❗️. Then we walked to the former tobacco production line. It's a pretty narrow walkway, so there's a line. The purple lighting gives it a nightclub vibe, I think 😂. Because the space is really huge. The kids were tired by the end, so we didn't explore every detail. After leaving, I read the introduction and realized I hadn't visited the Hakka House on the second floor. 😱 Also, they didn't offer stroller rentals. I personally think this service would be a plus for a popular attraction. The parking fee was 💰30 per hour, which was reasonable. It's a multi-story parking garage. We stayed there for over two hours, so it was definitely worth it.

#Trip: The perfect choice for family outings #CityTour #NatureExploration #AutumnFamilyTour #Chaozhou Attractions: Linhou Silin Plain Forest Park 🆓Free admission 🅿️Free parking This creek with water play is the eco-park I've always dreamed of. 🤩 I saw a friend check it out and immediately added it to my favorites. Finally, I got the chance to visit. 🚗 It's a forest park, but it's located on flat ground, with no mountain roads at all. It's a bit far from the interchange, but it's definitely worth the visit. It's large and has a lot to offer. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, we only focused on the #Erfengzhen Experience Area. The water isn't perfectly clean, but it's clear. There were cleaning ladies picking up leaves. The deepest part of the long stream is only knee-deep. The current isn't turbulent, so it's quite safe. There aren't many mosquitoes. It's a great place for children to play in the water. The kids couldn't wait to get in the water, constantly carrying water to help everyone bathe. 😂 I didn't see any small fish, shrimp, or tadpoles in the stream. The park is quite vast. There are plenty of green spaces for picnics. Bicycles are also available for rental. You can easily spend half a day here. Highly recommend a visit and a cold drink. 😂 Address: No. 221-1, Chaoyi Road, Chaozhou Township, Pingtung County Download the Trip.com app ➜ Search for "FamilyTravel" on the homepage ➜ to see recommended family trips and exclusive deals! #Pingtung Attractions Recommendations #Pingtung Private Attractions #Pingtung Free Attractions #Free Water Play #Nature #Linhou Four Forests #Forest Recreation Area #Ecological Park #Pingtung Family Attractions Recommendations #Pingtung Day Trip #trip Family Travel Top Choice

#trip Family Outing Choice The Pingyan 1936 Cultural Base, located in downtown Pingtung, is a key centerpiece of Pingtung County's Grand Museum Project. Formerly the Pingtung Branch Leaf Tobacco Re-Drying Plant, built in 1936, it was once Taiwan's largest primary tobacco processing plant. Following the passage of time and industrial transformation, the county government's historical site revitalization project successfully transformed this approximately 4.2-hectare historical complex into an immersive museum complex that integrates history, art, ethnic culture, and innovative technology, making it a striking cultural landmark in southern Taiwan. The Pingyan 1936 Cultural Base not only preserves the magnificent factory buildings, warehouses, and towering chimneys of the past, but also infuses its precious historical heritage with a contemporary revitalization. As Taiwan's first tobacco-themed museum, it fully preserves the massive tobacco processing machinery of the time, including the re-smoking machine and the deboning area. It's worth noting that climbing the preserved "catwalk" (high-altitude inspection walkway) within the Tobacco Museum offers a bird's-eye view of the entire industrial space, allowing you to experience the majestic grandeur and unique light and shadow of the industrial-style architecture. The base buildings retain the rugged and elegant lines of the industrial style of the Japanese colonial period. Especially thanks to the lighting design, the Pingyan tobacco factory buildings, chimneys, and outdoor green walls are illuminated by warm light at night, creating a charming atmosphere that is both retro and cyberpunk, making it a must-see for photography enthusiasts. The charm of Pingyan 1936 lies in its exhibitions that encompass Pingtung's rich and diverse ethnic culture, utilizing extensive digital technology to create an immersive sensory feast: The Hakka Museum: Using abstract visual design and light projection, it presents the traditional daily rituals, the spirit of farming in the sun and studying in the rain, and the local cultural characteristics of the Liudui Hakka people of Pingtung, allowing visitors to understand the Liudui Hakka people from a new perspective. The Indigenous Peoples' Hall: Through immersive experiences and interactive installations, it offers an in-depth look at the life, weaving, hunting, and musical cultures of Pingtung's indigenous groups, including the Paiwan and Rukai. The warehouse complex within the base frequently hosts high-quality immersive special exhibitions, such as one themed on Dawu Mountain. Through surround projections, fragrance, and sound effects, visitors were transported to the mountains and felt the natural pulse of southern Taiwan. The Pingyan 1936 Cultural Center, using the concept of "Golden Leaf Rebirth," has transformed a former industrial memory into a new cultural center imbued with a futuristic feel and local warmth. It is a cultural highlight not to be missed on any trip to Pingtung. @trip.com_tw "Download the Trip.com app ➜ Search [FamilyTravel] on the homepage ➜ View recommended family trips and exclusive deals!"

#trip Family Outing Choice Located in Checheng, Pingtung, and adjacent to Fu'an Temple, Southeast Asia's largest Tudigong temple, the Checheng Inclusive Playground, with its unique local theme and comprehensive inclusive facilities, has become a popular new destination for family travel on the Hengchun Peninsula. The playground cleverly integrates Checheng's agricultural products with local religious culture, creating a unique play space full of fun, challenges, and cultural significance. The Checheng Inclusive Playground's most distinctive feature is that it's not a standard "canned" park, but rather imbued with the rich local flavor of Checheng. The main attraction is the charmingly round, nine-meter-tall "Onion Fortune" inspired by Checheng's famous agricultural specialty, onions. The playground cleverly incorporates elements of Fu'an Temple's religious beliefs, with a cute-looking Tudigong figure at the entrance, wooden stakes shaped like giant fortune sticks, and a climbing net with fortune-telling poems. The red pillars and railings of the climbing net are engraved with fortune-telling words, allowing children to experience local culture and the beautiful meaning of blessing while having fun. The playground area also features climbing structures interwoven with red pillars resembling incense sticks and yellow rope nets, transforming the solemnity of traditional temples into a fun and physically challenging experience. As an inclusive playground, Checheng Park is designed to cater to users of all ages and abilities. The park features a barrier-free, interconnected looping elevated walkway, allowing wheelchair users and parents with strollers to play closely together while also providing a stable, shaded area for elderly residents to stroll and relax. The Checheng Inclusive Playground boasts a prime location, closely connected to Fu'an Temple and the surrounding food districts, making it a perfect starting point or stopover for a Hengchun Peninsula tour. More than just a playground for children to unwind, the Checheng Inclusive Playground is a haven filled with local stories and cultural delights, perfectly embodying the local spirit of "building your own playground." @trip.com_tw "Download the Trip.com app ➜ Search [FamilyTravel] on the homepage ➜ View recommended family travel experiences and exclusive deals!"

#Trip: The perfect choice for family outings #CityTour #SportsExperience #AutumnFamilyTour 📍Pingtung Forest Inclusive Playground (Family Flying Train) Pingtung, the place that kicked off the Taiwan-wide trend for unique parks, This Flying Wax Apple Train is truly fun and unique! The playground features two major attractions: a sculpted flying train and a wax apple-shaped play area. First, there are no public restrooms in this park. To use the restroom, you have to go to the nearby train station. The five colorful carriages are eye-catching. There's even a hot air balloon design in the center, creating a sense of flight. In addition to the terrazzo slide, there's also a climbing area that children will love. The space under the train provides shade and shelter from the rain. Children love playing on the sand and balancing poles. The Wax Apple Forest Playground on the other side is more challenging. It gives children the feeling of completing a level, climbing, crawling, and walking, using their hands and feet to stimulate their brains. It's definitely worth a visit!

#SeptemberDestinations2025 Dapeng Bay is Pingtung's most cozy seaside living room. From Binwan Pier, board a boat and gaze at the tides beneath the cross-sea bridge. The sky resembles a long, white sail, and the lake is a polished blue—perfect for spending the afternoon in the breeze. • Name: Dapeng Bay National Scenic Area | Binwan Pier • Location: Donggang Township, Pingtung County (National Highway 3 → Expressway 88 → Provincial Highway 17) • Admission: Most areas are free; parking fees, boat tours, and water activities are subject to operator notification. • Recommended Stay: 2–4 hours (a stroll and a cruise or bike ride) • Suitable for: Families, couples, drivers, and cyclists Dapeng Bay Background and History (Abridged Version) Dapeng Bay, formerly known as the Donggang Inland Sea, is a lagoon separated by sandbars and connected to the open sea only by an inlet. In its early years, it was primarily used for fishing, salt production, and port transit. Later, while preserving the natural landscape, it was comprehensively developed into a National Scenic Area, integrating a cross-sea bridge, a bayside pier, lake cruises, a water sports base, and a cycling tour. On one side, it offers a geography lesson on salt and tidal changes, while on the other, it provides a welcoming and relaxing space for everyday enjoyment. The bridge opens and closes at set times, creating a ceremonial "sea theater" (actual times subject to official announcements). The lagoon's surface is calm, with clouds above and the silhouettes of ships below. This harmonious contrast of blue is the defining characteristic of Dapeng Bay. ⸻ My Lakeside Walking Route (Step-by-Step Guided by Photos) ① Bayside Pier → Observation Deck The white arched building and the long embankment are the most recognizable landmarks. First, ascend to the deck to watch the clouds sweep across the sky like a brush, casting a silky sheen on the water. Here, I'll take the cover shot first, with the horizon low and two-thirds of the sky visible, to create a clearer blue. ② Lakeside Trail → Looking Up from Under the Bridge Walk slowly along the lakeside trail, occasionally spotting fiddler crabs. Once you reach the foot of the cross-sea bridge, its steel structure feels like a tensile line. The wind blows beneath the bridge, and every breath feels like the ocean. ③ Choose between a Lake Cruise or a SUP (Supporting Upgrade) • Relaxing: Take a lake cruise from the Marina Pier (prices subject to on-site announcements) and listen to a guide share stories about tides, bridges, and oyster shells. • In the water: Choose a SUP or canoe (reservations required). The lagoon's waters are stable, allowing even beginners to find their rhythm. Returning to shore, the afternoon light is at its most beautiful, with cloud shadows moving across the lake. No filters are needed for photos. ④ Ending at Dusk: The wind paints the sky a milky blue. The sun sets behind the distant embankment, and the lake turns from blue to gray-purple. The blue hues are incredibly soothing. At this time, standing about one-third of the way along the embankment, your silhouettes will tell a story. ⸻ 10 Reasons I Recommend Dapeng Bay & Binwan Pier 1. Absolutely Amazing Views: The lagoon stretches out in a straight line, and the layers of clouds and water are incredibly clear. 2. Free Entry: Most areas are free of charge, making it a great place to visit on a whim. 3. Lots of Activities: Boat tours, SUPs, canoes, and kite/water skiing facilities (varies by season and registration). 4. Perfect Cycling: The gentle bike path around the bay is perfect for families. 5. A Geography Classroom: The lagoon, sandbars, and tidal changes—one trip will give you a glimpse into the world. 6. Perfect for Photography: The bridge, pier, embankment, and boat shadows—foreground elements are easy to spot. 7. Perfect Sunsets & Blues: Come in the afternoon and stay until the blues turn blue to capture the changing light. 8. Convenient Dining: Numerous restaurants are available around the pier and in downtown Donggang, so you don't have to travel far for seafood. 9. Nearby attractions: Fuwan Chocolate, Linbian Wetlands, and the Xiaoliuqiu ferry service are all within a half-hour drive. 10. Dramatic scenery year-round: Summer clouds are dramatic, autumn and winter are transparent; even cloudy skies offer a low-saturation quality. ⸻ Super Practical Tips (Avoidance Checklist)⚠️ • The sun is strong: bring a hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, and 500–1000ml of water; in winter, mountain winds can be strong, so bring a light jacket. • Water Safety: When using a SUP or canoe, always wear a life jacket and cooperate with the instructor; avoid trespassing under bridges or in waterways. • Bridge Opening and Closing: Bridges are occasionally opened at fixed times; please refer to official announcements. • Cycling Tips: Cycling clockwise; upwind sections are more stable; children should use safety flags. • Take your trash with you: Strong winds can easily blow light objects into the water. ⸻ Photography Cheat Sheet (You Can Take Great Photos Even on Your Phone) 📸 • Make the Sky the Star: Lower the horizon by 1/3; use an EV of −0.3 to preserve cloud patterns. • Foreground Anchor: Place a levee, railing, pier post, or boat in the corner of the frame for a more stable composition. • Silhouette: Use a blue tone for 5–10 minutes, positioning the person on the levee line looking up at the clouds for a truly dramatic shot. • Lines of the Bridge: Shoot from above with a wide-angle shot, making the bridge look like an arrow, guiding the eye toward the sky. ⸻ Food Review | A Sweet Respite in the Middle of Your Trip (with Address) Fu Wan Chocolate (Donggang Flagship/Workshop Showcase) Address: No. 100, Dapeng Road, Donggang Township, Pingtung County Recommended: Single Origin Chocolate #1: PingTung 62% and 100% Cocoa + Hot Cocoa Drink My experience: The 62% version has a hint of brown sugar and dried fruit, leaving a clean sweetness; the 100% sugar-free version is not harsh, with a refreshingly bitter aftertaste of tropical fruit. After spending an afternoon enjoying the breeze by the lake, it was the perfect place to recharge my batteries and refresh my spirits. 🍫 ⸻ Half-Day & Full-Day Itineraries Half-Day Version Walk along the bay → Cruise (or SUP) → Watch the sunset from the Dapeng Bay Bridge → Dinner in Donggang Fujian Version Morning: Watch migratory birds at the wetlands → Lunch: Donggang seafood → Walk and cruise along the Dapeng Bay Bay → Enjoy dessert at Fuwan Chocolate → Enjoy the blues at dusk by the bridge → Accommodation in Pingtung City / Donggang ⸻ My real travel experience That day, the clouds seemed like a long, soft, white cape, combed by the wind. They stretched across the lake all the way to the distant embankment. I sat on the embankment, listening to the lapping of water against the pillars as the wind washed away the heat from my body. By the time the sky turns blue, only a few lights and the shadows of boats remain at the pier—Dapeng Bay, devoid of noise, yet profoundly quiet. 😊 ⸻ Conclusion If you're looking for a place in Pingtung where you can stroll, swim, and gaze at the clouds and water in one uninterrupted shot, Dapeng Bay and Binwan Pier should be on your itinerary: free, easy to get to, packed with activities, and stunning blues. Bring water and sunscreen, and leave a long afternoon for it, letting the wind wash away all the noise of your journey. ⸻ Dapeng Bay National Scenic Area | Binwan Pier | Dapeng Bay Cross-Sea Bridge | Fuwan Chocolate (No. 100, Dapeng Road, Donggang Township, Pingtung County) | Linbian Wetland | Donggang Pier (Xiaoliuqiu Ferry) #Pingtung #DapengBay #BinwanPier #Lagoon #Cross-SeaBridge #SUP #Lake Cruise #Donggang #BluesTime #Pingtung #DapengBay

#SeptemberDestinations2025 Tucked away in Jiupeng Village, Manzhou Township, Pingtung County, lies a unique landscape that stands out from Taiwan's subtropical landscape: the Jiupeng Desert. While not a true desert, it's a unique landscape comprised of vast sandy beaches and wind-blown dunes. Known as the "Taiwan Sahara" for its scale and grandeur, it attracts many travelers seeking thrills and unique experiences. The formation of the Jiupeng Desert is closely tied to the local geography. The Jiupeng River's estuary meets the Pacific coastline. Over time, silt from the upper reaches of the Jiupeng River has been washed and deposited at its estuary. Every year, during the northeast monsoon, strong winds carry this fine sand inland, creating this undulating landscape of dunes stretching for kilometers. These dunes constantly change shape with wind direction and the seasons, presenting a dynamic natural beauty. Jiupeng Desert is best known for its thrilling dune racing. Local operators offer four-wheel drive off-road vehicles (ATVs), led by professional drivers, for visitors to race across the dunes. The vehicles swoop down steep sand slopes or race across the beach at high speed, sending clouds of dust and an adrenaline-pumping thrill that's undeniably addictive. For adventurous and thrill-seeking travelers, this extreme sport is a must-see. Jiupeng Desert is not only a place for fun, but also a perfect place to understand the forces of nature and the dynamics of the terrain. If you've grown tired of the azure seas and skies of Kenting, Jiupeng Desert offers a completely different experience from Hengchun.
