I really really really love this post and my experience in Kenting a lot. Read on to find out why!
Prior to the trip, we booked a cab with the hotel we stayed to bring us around. They charged us TWD3,500 to bring 4 of us around for 8 hours. It was a little more expensive than what other cab drivers charged us in other parts of Taiwan, but we still find it pretty reasonable, so we accepted it without bothering to source for others. BEST DECISION MADE.
Woke up in the morning, hopped out to the balcony and marvel at the sight.
Here’s a 180 degree view for you.



While waiting for my friends to get ready, I decided to go down for a walk. The good thing about Taiwan is that it’s very safe. I don’t feel worried about walking out to the street on my own.
Decided to walked down onto the corals to get a nicer view although it’s pretty dangerous.
I could possibly stay there a while longer but a stray dog decided to come along. I’m not someone who is afraid of dogs, but it doesn’t look very friendly. So I make a swift escape.

The hotels along the beach of Kenting. All short and stubby. Our hotel is the second one from the right, second floor.

At 9am sharp, we were escorted to our 8-seater car. and according to yuzhi “We are like some big shot celebrities". Indeed. And our driver is a young guy of around 30 called xiao zhong. Whom we kept trying to matchmake yuzhi to. HAHAHHA
And because of yuzhi’s previous day comment to xiao zhong that “we want to old man activities” We were brought to all the scenic places.
No complains initially because the view is really splendid.

And the photo below is one of my favourite photos for the entire trip.

Spot the ship below

The southern most point of taiwan!
Mandatory jump shot against a bluesy sky.

Then we went for this submarine ride which was an absolute waste of money ._. Please don’t go! It’s so foggy that you can’t even see nemo. Better spend your money on scuba or semi scuba.
Thereafter Chenshuang and I started protesting. So next time exciting activities! (bane of yuzhi’s life)
ATV or what taiwanese call Biao Sha
All photos are courtesy of xiao zhong! (Armed with DSLR and helping us take photos, +10)
Hahhaa yuzhi feeling a mixture of fear and excitement
Moving on to the more scary kind of Biao Sha.
Chenshuang and I had to take the corners because well, we suggested it.
and I earned a super black blueblack on my left arm which took 2 weeks to subside. and that’s the glory of the Taiwan’s xiao hei wen on my legs. It’s so toxic that the bites continue to spread even after I return. (YES IT SPREADS) Both yuzhi and I had to go see doctor to stop it from spreading and got anti scarring cream.
Well no pain no gain. Remember your insect repellent!
The place to play ATV cannot be access by public easily without a car.
So you got to hire a cab or rent a car! I think even with scooter you wont be able to reach there because you have to go through hills which I don’t think scooter can handle. (Saw one that broke down while going up hill)
Then we went off to view the sunset <3 Though not as pretty as the day before, still lovely.
And at night at 11.30pm, xiao zhong came to our hotel to bring us to go view stars!! OMG SO DAMN NICE OF HIM.
The stars were unbelievable. Just make me want to lie down and view it all night through. No photos cause I don’t know how to take. HAHAHA
Feeling the love from Taiwanese. Plus during the trip in the day, he bought us pineapples and longans to eat while on the car.
and that’s us with him at 1am after viewing the stars.
SUPER LOVE KENTING! THANK YOU XIAO ZHONG FOR BEING EXTRA NICE TO US <3<3<3
I recently just watched triumph in the skies II and I think they never do Kenting justice! ahahahha. It’s far more beautiful than what was shown on the show. And we had been to all the places that were shown on the show (apart from the hospital).
HOPE TO TRAVEL WITH YOU GIRLS AGAIN SOON!!
AND I LOVE TAIWAN AND KENTING <3<3<3

Hi Jane,
ReplyDeleteCould you give me his details too? phoenixrei8@gmail.com
Though we are a group of 6, so not sure if that'll suit?
Hi! I have posted the contact details above. The car can fit up to 8 I think! so 6 shouldnt be a problem. But pricing wise think it will be slightly more!
