Situated at the southern tip of Taiwan, Kenting National Park was inaugurated in 1984 and is the oldest of Taiwan’s national parks. It is famed for its clear blue skies, picturesque beaches, and captivating mountain landscapes. Covering an area of 333 square kilometers—with the ocean accounting for half of that—Kenting National Park boasts a wealth of natural attractions, including the tropical botanical garden within the Kenting National Forest Recreation Area and world-class coral reefs.
