If
beach capers are the be-all and end-all of your vacation,
it makes sense to minimize the time spent getting
from Taiwan’s second city to its premier seaside resort.
But if your interests are broader and you’ve access
to a hire car, you’ll discover a region that makes for
a wonderful multi-day road trip.
Expressway
88 and Freeway 3 allow a rapid escape from Kaohsiung
and its suburbs - but also bypass the intriguing destinations
of Donggang and Jiadong...
This article, which also appeared in the December issue of EVA Air's inflight magazine, goes on to mention Donggang’s bluefin tuna and boat-burning festival,
Jiadong’s superb Hakka mansion, Mount Lilong, Longluan Lake, the
beach resort at the heart of Kenting National Park, and the Alangyi Ancient Trail. The photo above, which I took in 2010, shows Longpan Park in the southeastern part of Kenting National Park.
