At the southern tip of Taiwan sits Kenting, a beautiful land of tropical beaches, sheer sea cliffs, rugged mountains, and exotic flora and fauna. This makes Kenting National Park and its surroundings a fabulous spot for adventure racing and buzzing one's endorphins. And after participants have finished running, biking, kayaking, swimming and going where eagles dare, they can reunite with friends, family, teammates and competitors to enjoy sandy beaches and a friendly town full of pubs and restaurants. Here is a list of the points of interest in Kenting: Gueishan: Entering the Park from Baoli (the Park’s west entrance) along the west coast road, you will see Gueishan to your right hand side. Shaped like a turtle, its hilltop is the ideal spot for viewing Sihchong River, Baoli River, and Hengchun Valley.
Houwan: Houwan is a quiet little fishing village situated along the beautiful coast, and is also the location of National Museum of Marine Biology.
Syunguangzuei: Syunguangzuei, or Shanhai, is a natural bay shaped like the claw of a crab. A variety of corals and marine life forms live along its beautiful shores.
Guanshan: Guanshan, or Gaoshanyan, is a coral tableland rising 152 meters above sea level, and is covered with coral reefs and fissures. To the north you can see Dapingding Tableland, fringing reef shores, and the fishing villages on the west coast; to the east you can see Hengchun Valley, Longluantan, and hills; and to the south you can see the entire coast from Maobitou to Eluanbi. This is the best place to watch the sunset in Kenting National Park. Baisha: Baisha is a pretty and quiet bay with a pure white sand beach that runs for 400 meters. The beach consists of sand that comes from corals and seashells, with a calcium carbonate percentage of 87.6%. Shielded by the tableland to its east, the bay remains calm during winter, and is suitable for all kinds of beach and marine activities. 2006-11-27 09:38:11 補充： This is an incomplete list.
