Kenting
Kenting anchors Taiwan's southernmost tip, where a national park mixes coral-reef beaches, wind-sculpted grasslands, and tropical forest inside one compact peninsula. It's Taiwan's classic beach-and-surf escape, known equally for its lively main strip and night market as for quiet capes and lighthouses further out.

A rental car picked up in Kaohsiung is a popular alternative for reaching the more spread-out sights beyond the main town.
How many days should I spend in Kenting?
Plan on ~2-4 days to cover Kenting's main beaches, the national park's capes and trails, and a night at the Kenting Night Market, with extra time if you want to explore the wider Hengchun Peninsula.
