Day 1 day: Meeting Kenting for the first time
It takes one and a half hours from high-speed railway station to Zuoying by high-speed train.
Zuo Ying belongs to Kaohsiung, and we didn't stop in Kaohsiung. That is, get off and take a yellow taxi to Kenting. Besides sleeping along the road, ask the teacher: What crops are planted in the farmland outside the window? Have a plenty of pitaya, have a plenty of pineapple, have a plenty of mango.
When we see the sea, it is almost like spring all the year round. Kenting belongs to Hengchun Town. When I entered the town, I saw the big signboard of the three sisters beef noodles. The master said this noodle is good. I never had a chance to taste it.
Kenting is a street full of small shops and homestays. We live in a youth activity center, which is relatively secluded. In a corner of the sea, the back door can lead directly to the sea. It's great to watch the sunset on the antique observation deck. In this homestay, or youth hostel, the style of the house belongs to the official style in ancient China. Antique, deep red and sapphire blue, carved beams and painted buildings, white walls and red tiles. Rare quiet and elegant.
After cleaning up, we went to the seaside to play with water. Because I can't swim, I can only tread the waves. If I take two steps forward, the water depth will exceed one meter. It is enviable that there are several young people like college students swimming around freely. A local girl of six or seven years old is learning to swim, and her dark complexion looks healthy. Dou is keen on observing hermit crabs and driving his toy car on the beach.
The next day: cruise Kenting
I woke up naturally the next day and went out to see the gorgeous morning glow and sunny day. The water in the Pacific Ocean is as blue as a fake. I had breakfast in the lobby and went out to rent a battery car.
I have never ridden a battery car, so the shopkeeper is a little uneasy about my posture. He specially taught me in the parking lot for a while, and I felt comfortable, so he assured me to put on the bean manager and left. Alice's helmet and car are pink, very princess-like. I'm white. Dou always wears a green Pleasant Goat helmet. He stood on the pedal. As soon as I looked down at his little green head, I felt a lamb in front of me.
Go east along the coastline and stop at the Great Barrier Reef. There is a big black reef in this corner of the Pacific Ocean, which stands out against a blue background. The calm blue water makes people forget the fear of depth, and it will gently engulf you.
I have been to some islands, but I found that Kenting has its own unique flavor. Maybe it's a two-person motorcycle speeding by on the highway, or maybe it's a young man with a surfboard on an empty beach. They unloaded all secular rules and regulations for Kenting, and at the same time endowed it with a bold and youthful temperament.
If the Indian Ocean is a lively village girl, the Pacific Ocean is a quiet family.
At first glance, there is no margin, and the mist transpiration on the distant sea surface forms a mountain-like illusion. I think it will be a long time before I forget this blue color. Blue beyond the blue sea, which movie is the lyrics of this episode? It should be about the Pacific Ocean.
Continue to go to Goose Watch Wall Park. Go to Haige and overlook the blue. Girls are busy taking selfies, but they feel that they are not beautiful enough to win the sea color. Walking down the steps, we noticed that the trees in the park grew in cracks in the stones, and I didn't know their names. They look strange. Then we went to the lighthouse. The white lighthouse appears in countless photos and movies, and the long lens is more artistic. A chubby boy is taking aerial photos with his little drone, and Dou always stops to be fascinated. He didn't want to leave until people received the small plane.
Eluanbi Park is one of the symbols of Kenting. Tickets are NT$ 30 yuan.
Although people live and eat by the sea, hardworking people in Taiwan Province Province also know that fishing will not last long. They use this wealth to the extreme and live together in a relatively harmonious state.
It's very hot, and we urgently need a place to rest. In the Huadian restaurant at the door, I ordered pig's foot rice and juice. Where there is wifi, people can sit for a long time.
After dinner, consider where to go next. Further east, you can go to Jialeshui, which is similar to a water park. However, Dou always seems to be not keen on water sports, and Alice can't stand the sun, so we canceled our trip and went back to Hengchun.
When passing by Baisha, I stopped the car, bought a set of plastic bucket shovels for Mr. Dou to play with, and went to the seaside. The waves are rising, and it seems that it will rain. Everyone chased the waves and deliberately fell into the water, which was very exciting. Dou always watches me tread water and keeps saying, mom, come back quickly. I'm afraid of being washed away by water. There are also people playing motorboats nearby, but I absolutely dare not try. It looks dangerous.
We won't stop until we are tired of playing. Keep walking. This is no longer the tourist season. Most of the accents are mainland, and there are not many cars on the road. I ride a battery car, and Dou always sings to me in front, from the little star to my good mother and then to the little apple. I taught him to sing the sea, my hometown.
When the sea breeze blows, it is very cool. On one side, the sea is blue; on the other side, the mountains are green; overhead, the white sky is blue. It's really a good place to shoot idol dramas. Singing and singing, Dou kept silent. I fell asleep standing on the pedal as soon as I saw it. It's almost constant spring. I have to find a place to stop Finally, I chose 7 1 1. I bought drinks and Guandong cooking, and I slept with him. The plan to go to the cat's head and nose to watch the sunset was also cancelled.
Hengchun town is not big. It is said that there is an ancient city, which is actually ancient decades ago, and it is not much different from modern times. There is only a small city wall, which can be understood as ancient times.
Ken is a village in Hengchun (a village in mainland China), but it is very prosperous, not only with beautiful scenery, but also very lively. This is almost a city that never sleeps. Barbecue is particularly attractive, and the aroma of grilled shrimp is charming.
Back in Kenting, I saw a shrimp catcher. We stopped to solve the dinner. I ordered salt to roast oysters and shrimp. Bangdou always orders white rice again. Oysters are really fresh, but without fans and garlic, there is always something missing. Shrimp is big and fresh. It seems that there are ten, all of whom were killed by General Dou. It is rare that he likes it.
Go back early the next morning to watch the sunrise. I have seen sunrises in deserts and mountains, but I have never seen sunrises by the sea. As a result, I overslept and missed the sunrise, leaving a little regret for my trip to Kenting. However, during the trip, it was because of my regret that I became more attached to this place. It seems that my relationship with Kenting is not so easy to "end".
tourist handbook
Prepare before departure

(Domestic) Taiwan Pass: you need to go to the local entry-exit office to apply.
Entry Permit (Taiwan Province Province): Go to Taobao to find an agent to handle it.
2. Two certificates are the most important. It is safer to prepare about 20 days in advance. This time, because of the income certificate, I got the entry permit just seven days before my trip. It is almost too late.
About accommodation
There are hundreds of homestays in Kenting, basically one after another along Kenting Street, with lovely names and their own characteristics. Our hotel is on Dawan Road, behind Kenting Street, and across the road is the sea. This room faces the sea. At two o'clock in the afternoon, the sun shines through the floor-to-ceiling window of the balcony. Somehow, it reminds me of the studio where I lived when I was studying French in a city in southern France. The same warm sunshine, the same narrow space, the same street under the window.
