Kenting

From there, drive down to the Southern Tip of Taiwan to see the southernmost point, then take the scenic coastal route back to Kenting. The landscape here is pretty flat and you'll catch glimpses of aboriginal culture along the way. Another night in Kenting gives you time to explore more of the beach town.
