2025 Pingtung Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in February)

How expensive are hotels in Kenting? Actually, if you avoid the South Bay and Kenting Street areas, there are still some high-value resorts available. Kenting Yoho Beach Resort is a great choice! Yoho Resort is near Guanshan and Wanlitong. Although it doesn't have fine white sand beaches, the rocky beaches offer a richer intertidal ecosystem. The palm trees swaying in the sunset also add a unique charm. The 33-square-meter scenic family room is spacious and comfortable. It includes breakfast for two and costs around 3100 TWD, which is quite reasonable. The breakfast is abundant, and you can step out of your room and directly enjoy the water. The pool and water play area are quite large, and the tropical island garden landscaping adds to the full vacation atmosphere. The resort is family-oriented with a variety of room types, including children's camping rooms and chocolate-themed rooms, which are sure to delight kids. Even if you bring pets, there are pet-friendly rooms available, making it very considerate and friendly.

We visited Gloria Manor and had a delightful afternoon tea time. The restaurant's elegant and comfortable environment offered a variety of delicious desserts and teas, allowing us to enjoy this wonderful time in a leisurely atmosphere. Besides the delicious food, we also took a stroll in the hotel's vast garden, enjoying the gentle breeze and the beautiful surroundings, feeling both relaxed and at ease. This trip was not only about tasting delicious food but also a relaxation of the mind. It is definitely a great choice for unwinding.

The "Pingtung Marine Biological Museum" is a must-visit to reminisce about the off-campus teaching when you were a child. It is the largest marine life museum in Taiwan. It is a good place for education and entertainment, and is very suitable for the whole family to play. 👨👩👧👦 There are many things in the Marine Biological Museum There are so many rare and precious fishes and abundant marine life. It is really healing to appreciate the underwater world up close🥰 🐳Big whale paddling pool As soon as you walk into the marine life museum, you can see the paddling pool with many large whales. It is not only a good place to play in the water to cool off in summer, but also one of the must-photographed attractions when you come here📷 🐠Dream undersea tunnel Walking in the spectacular undersea tunnel, the whole feeling is super dreamy. This is also one of the key scenes of the aquarium. The 84-meter-long undersea tunnel is filled with aqua-blue light. When you look up, you will be surrounded by fish. The dreamy atmosphere feels like being in an underwater world! In addition to seeing many kinds of fish, you can also interact with cute animals such as beluga whales, sting rays, penguins and other ocean stars. The one that impressed me the most was the beluga whale! 💙Ocean star little white whale You must not miss the cute marine life when you come to the Aquarium! The extremely smart little white whale does not have the baggage of a big star idol. Instead, he is very friendly to the people and likes to interact with people. Sometimes he will open his mouth to play pranks and scare children. His blinks and smiles are really super cute😆 #平东海生馆 #平东 attractions #Kenting attractions #Little White Whale

Don't think Pingtung is just about Kenting! There's also the 'Taiwan Sugar County Park,' which is also very fun and worth visiting👍 The old pulp factory, left from the Japanese colonial period, has been abandoned for 27 years and has now been turned into a new attraction from the ruins! After its transformation, the County Park not only retains the ancient bronze ruins style but also deliberately preserves the mottled walls of the foundation, the blurred slogans on the walls, the rare pit relics, and models of the old sugar and pulp factories. It gives people the feeling of traveling back in time and combines local landscapes, culture, history, and entertainment. The park, which covers a vast area, is perfect for both adults and children to go on an outing😆 This new attraction, which connects the past and the present, revitalizes the historical site and presents a more diverse appearance. When visiting Pingtung, consider spending some leisurely time at the County Park^_^

A rare holiday trip to Kenting, many people must want to choose a comfortable and enjoyable B&B to relax, right? Besides the common suite-style B&Bs, Kenting also has many unique standalone villas. These villas not only provide better privacy but also offer facilities and services that often rival hotels. Even if you stay in the villa all day, you can fully enjoy the fun of vacation. Today, we are going to introduce a fantastic standalone pool villa - 'Saint Villa'. Saint Villa is located in Hengchun Sigou. It is a villa-style B&B with two types of rooms: double and quadruple. Each villa has a private courtyard and pool. Initially, I thought that with only double and quadruple rooms, the place wouldn't be that big. But I was so naive... Each villa here is super spacious! Apart from the large courtyard and pool, each villa is a standalone duplex design with ample space. It can accommodate more than ten people, making it the largest B&B room I've seen in Kenting so far. It also offers many great facilities! 📍Address: No. 32, Xingdong Lane, Xingbei Road, Hengchun Township, Pingtung County, 946 🕰️Business Hours: Check-in time is after 16:00, check-out is before 12:00 Phone📞: 08-8881617

Shanfu Ecological Walk 🌿 The entrance to the Shanfu Ecological Walk is like a maze of small paths, full of exploration fun. As you walk down, you'll pass through several different spaces, and then suddenly it opens up, revealing a breathtaking view. This is a great place for bird watching and sea gazing 🌊, and you can also enjoy beautiful sunsets 🌅. There is a plaza next to the trail where you can run around freely or just sit quietly and daydream. It's truly a perfect blend of nature and culture. 🌟👍 This spot is along the coastal route of the island tour 🌊. After a brief introduction, I learned that this place used to be an early artillery position, which has now been transformed into an ecological park with installation art. The renovation of the old military base has been very successful, making it a worthwhile place to visit. 🙌🏻👍 ❕Tips: However, be aware that apart from shaded areas, there is no cover in the park or along the coast, so remember to take sun protection measures❕

Arriving at Xiao Liuqiu in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, I specifically came to enjoy the sunset. I chose to go to 'Beauty Cave,' which is an excellent spot to watch the sunset. Riding an electric scooter along the winding path, the coconut trees swayed in the wind, and the waves gently lapped against the shore, giving me an unparalleled sense of relaxation. Upon arrival, the sun had already begun to slowly set, and the clouds on the horizon were dyed golden and orange, like a dreamy painting. Standing on the rocks, I quietly admired this spectacular view. The sun slowly sank below the sea level, and the golden shimmering sea surface was like a mirror, reflecting the changing colors. Watching the sun finally disappear below the horizon, I couldn't help but feel that such a beautiful scene is truly precious. 🌅🏝️✨

Little Liuqiu is a beautiful island in Taiwan, known for its clear waters and relaxed atmosphere. From Kaohsiung, it takes about an hour to drive to Donggang Pier, and then less than 30 minutes by ferry to Little Liuqiu, making it very convenient. **Transportation** First, it takes about an hour to drive from Kaohsiung to Donggang Pier. You can take a ferry to Little Liuqiu from either Lianchitan Pier or Caoya Pier in Kaohsiung. The ferry ride takes about 30 to 40 minutes, offering stunning sea views along the way. **Must-Do Activities** Upon arriving at Little Liuqiu, it's recommended to rent a scooter or an electric bike (if the scooter needs to carry two people, one must have a driver's license). This makes it easy to explore the island's beautiful spots. Start by visiting the famous "Flower Vase Rock," known for its unique natural rock formations, perfect for photos. Next, head to "Beauty Cave," where you can marvel at the spectacular sea caves and the stunning blue waters. **Food Recommendations** Don't forget to try the local cuisine in Little Liuqiu! Hong Mama's Breakfast Shop is famous for its popular queue-worthy dish, Acacia Noodles. Coffee lovers must visit Sunset Coffee, and don't miss the limited-edition Tadpole Cheese Pancakes.

#closetonature #100waysoftravel #taiwan I recently had an incredible diving experience at Lambai Island that truly connected me with nature. The underwater world was breathtaking, filled with vibrant coral reefs and a diverse array of marine life. Swimming alongside a graceful sea turtle was a highlight; its serene movements made me feel completely at peace. The clarity of the water allowed me to appreciate the intricate details of the coral formations, each teeming with colorful fish. Being surrounded by such beauty was both humbling and exhilarating. This experience reaffirmed my love for the ocean and deepened my appreciation for marine conservation. If you’re looking to immerse yourself in nature, diving in Lambai Island is an unforgettable adventure that will leave you feeling rejuvenated and inspired. #diving #sea #world #nature #love_nature

#100 Ways to Travel Address: No. 26-1, Minsheng Road, Liuqiu Township, Pingtung County, Taiwan 929 Atmosphere/facilities: wooden decoration, wooden dining table, air-conditioning Features: No break at noon, American burgers, pasta, fish and chips Price per person: 200 yuan Rating: A long-established American restaurant in Xiaoliuqiu with a history of ten years. Specializing in a variety of handmade burgers. Beer fry. Rock handmade beef cheeseburger 260 yuan The first impression is that the beef burger steak is thick and topped with melted cheese. The lettuce, tomato and onion portion is placed on a plate with the upper portion of toasted crispy brioche bread. Served with thick-cut French fries. Simple but very delicious, mainly because the hamburger steak is thick and juicy, and the seasoning is simple, which fully reflects the sweetness of the gravy and the texture of the ground meat. The lack of salty melted cheese covers the greasy feeling of the gravy, and the vegetables relieve the greasiness. The crispy bread with a hint of butter aroma makes the overall meal richer. Edelweiss white beer 140 yuan A wine glass with a capacity of about 0.3l, natural water source from the Alps, the overall refreshing wine taste is low, with a rich floral aroma. It tastes smooth and goes well with burgers or fried snacks. The meals are all cooked to order, so you will need to wait a bit. Just when tourists don’t like American food for lunch and prefer Chinese food. In the middle of the meal, suddenly the customers kept coming and when we were about to finish the meal, it suddenly became full. Only to find out that we came at the wrong time and we were lucky enough to get a seat.

#100 Ways to Travel Address: Downstairs, No. 20, Minzu Road, Liuqiu Township, Pingtung County, Taiwan 929 Atmosphere/Facilities: Natural landscape, coastal coastal scenery Features: Sea turtles, snorkeling along the coast, beach for online beauty photos Price per person: free Rating: Walk down from the Xiaoliuqiu Visitor Center in the direction of Xiaoliuqiu Lingshan Temple and you will reach the famous scenic spot Vase Rock. The coral reef coast topography is a special topography that has been eroded by sea water and wind for many years. It is named after its shape like a vase. The area is not large but the water is very clear and the sea surface also shows gradients of different colors. Very suitable for taking photos and checking in. If you're lucky, you might even encounter a sea turtle swimming nearby. I saw some tourists coming back here to snorkel and play in the water. They need to pay attention to safety. There are many discarded broken wine bottles on the shore and many glass bottle fragments washed by sea water in the water. If protective measures are not prepared, there is a risk of injury if one does not pay attention. In addition, there is a lot of moss on many reefs below Vase Rock, so the stone road is slippery, so you still need to pay attention to safety when walking on it.

#100 Ways to Travel Address: No. 5-20, Zhongshan Road, Liuqiu Township, Pingtung County, Taiwan 929 Atmosphere/Facilities: Very crowded, air-conditioned, cash only Features: Xiaolongbao, fried rice, fried pork ribs Price per person: 90 yuan Rating: When I first visited the store, I was a little hesitant to eat Xiao Long Bao in such hot weather. But I arrived just in time and there was a seat just as the doors opened. Although the store does not have exquisite decoration, it is clean and bright overall, and the seats are not too crowded. The walkway is also quite spacious. After placing the order, only cash is accepted for payment at the counter. When placing the order, it feels similar to the meal ordered at Din Tai Fung. But the price is very affordable. Signature soup dumplings, 90 yuan, 7 pieces per box, normal soup dumpling size. The soup is very full and hot right out of the oven. It's delicious, but be careful not to burn your mouth when eating. Scallion and egg fried rice 90 yuan This is a personal preference. The simple egg fried rice is sprinkled with salt and chopped green onion. The overall seasoning is moderate and not greasy. The rice retains moisture and is not too dry. You can taste the original flavor of the eggs and chopped green onion. It's the most delicious dish. Fragrant Pork Ribs NT$100. I don’t know when I started eating egg fried rice and fried pork ribs as a combo. The fried pork ribs performed generally and tasted dry. The kimchi next to it performed better. Shrimp in Red Oil Chaoshou 100 yuan, five pieces in a portion, each one has a large shrimp. The filling is very filling and the portion is generous. However, the wonton wrappers were overcooked and the seasoning was not focused. You had to go to the seasoning section to adjust your taste. It's the worst performer. Seasonal side dishes 45 yuan. Take them from the refrigerator after checkout. I chose cucumbers, which are refreshing and garlicky.

Taiwan is a beautiful place, and Xiaoliuqiu has become my favorite in recent years. I love its nature and marine life. There are very large green sea turtles, as well as starfish, sea hares, corals, and a rich variety of fish, including everyone's favorites, Dory and Nemo! I didn't see them when I snorkeled at the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, but this time I was able to witness them with my own eyes. It was my first time visiting a Taiwanese island like Xiaoliuqiu, and I had no idea how beautiful their ocean was. Of course, I don't know how to dive, but snorkeling and joining the coastal ecology tour were also a lot of fun. I started my journey from Kaohsiung to Xiaoliuqiu, first taking a car to Donggang Wharf and then a thirty-minute boat ride. If you're like me and don't know how to ride an electric scooter or bike, you'll have to rely on the island's only taxi. However, staying at a B&B near the pier is also very convenient. Besides playing with green sea turtles and fish, the island also has romantic beach bars and high-quality coffee shops to choose from. Additionally, Xiaoliuqiu has various attractions like Vase Rock and the lighthouse. If possible, watching the sunrise and sunset is also very romantic. Spending two or three leisurely days in Xiaoliuqiu is a great choice.

#myhiddengems Amazing view resort-style decoration and super nice staffs, you can order a nice cup of coffee or any drinks you like, and have a good spot sitting and viewing the sea. The quality of the meals and drinks we ordered was very good. Both the appearance and taste of this cafe are of a very high standard. It is definitely worth to go if you are in Xiao liuqui, it is very suitable for people who are used to putting their mobile phones first yet also for photography lover having great time taking photos as the area are well decorated! #island #100waysoftravel #cafe #afternoontea #taiwantrip
