Early in the morning, drive to the Kayufeng Waterfall, located upstream of the Ashiwen River in Shizi Township, Pingtung County — the largest waterfall in southern Taiwan. With layered mountains and lush valleys, the waterfall trail winds up through the valley cliffs along the Ashiwen River, where you can listen to the murmuring stream. The final viewpoint is the best spot to take in the full panorama of the waterfall. With a drop of about 40 meters, the water cascades down the cliff in a fan-shaped flow, creating a spectacular and beautiful sight.

In the afternoon, head toward the seaside. Located in Fangshan, “Helo. Cup Ice” boasts an incredible ocean view. During the day, you can see the vast blue sea and sky, and at night, a sky full of stars. Originally an abandoned traditional courtyard house, it has been transformed by the owner’s hands and creativity. Wooden carvings and furniture can be seen everywhere, with various clever designs creating a uniquely charming atmosphere. Additionally, the place offers a dining experience akin to a rustic yet refined meal. The food is delicious, leaving diners with a memorable and satisfying culinary experience.
