Pingtung in southern Taiwan is a mountainous county, which we have not visited this time. Hengchun, under the jurisdiction of Pingtung, is an old town with a large local population and some historical sites and wonders; it is more than ten kilometers away from Kenting , there are many public buses in series, the best choice is battery car or bicycle riding.
We took the Kenting West Route that afternoon and finally arrived at Hengchun Town .
The nearby fishing port
The water from the thermal power plant has been treated with environmental protection, giving it another blue color, which is quite unexpected.
Mao Bitou Park .
Maobitou is located at the southeastern promontory of Hengchun Peninsula, between the junction of Taiwan Strait and Bashi Strait, about 3.5 kilometers away from Baisha. It is a typical coral reef coastal erosion terrain.
A bird's-eye view looks like a girl's pleated skirt. , so it is called the fringing reef coast, and together with Eluanbi , they form the two southernmost ends of Taiwan.
Chuhuo Scenic Area in the northeast of the ancient town. There is petroleum gas in the ground, which rises along the cracks and ignites immediately when ignited, and will not go out for many years.
If you didn’t know the truth, would you think it was divine fire or spiritual fire?
After seeing the Chuhuo Scenic Area, it was already evening, so we quickly entered Hengchun Ancient City.
The ancient town wall.
North Gate City Wall, newly renovated.
When we turned to the south gate, it was already dark. Obvious traces of repairs
This is the filming location of the movie Cape No. 7 . People with petty bourgeoisie complexes and people with movie addictions like to come here.
The film "Cape No. 7" is a Taiwanese love movie produced in 2008 and directed by Taiwanese director Wei Desheng. It tells the story of a large-scale concert held on the beach of the Xiadu Beach Hotel in Hengchun, Taiwan. Due to the persistence of the locals, The warm-up band will be performed by a group of local musicians. This patchwork band makes the concert supervisor Miss Tomoko very troubled.
front. Many scenes were filmed in the upstairs bedroom, so the landlord had to charge a fee to let them go up there.
The ancient cities in Taiwan are not as stained with monuments as the ancient cities in mainland China. They are older towns, but they retain four ancient city gates. There are just the same number of temples. Hengchun is well-named, as it has four seasons. There are many flowers and plants, but I haven’t photographed them. Although it is winter, you can feel the warm atmosphere of spring here.
The conditions for staying that night seemed better. Just make a counteroffer of 200 yuan. The owner of the B&B came from Chaozhou before liberation and is already the third generation. While chatting, I learned that I also like to travel to the mainland.
The next day, I visited Kenting Beach.
There are many B&Bs, which are beautiful and full of atmosphere.
Every store is focused on attracting attention. The store name or advertisement is sensational.
B&Bs facing the sea are a bit expensive, so be mentally prepared.
The time has come to say goodbye to Kenting. The sun is shining, the waves are blowing, the breeze is gentle, and the street scene is colorful. It’s already the eighth day, and we’re about to take the bus to Hualien on the eastern route. It’s a hard and exciting journey!
Tips:
1. It is most convenient to live in Kenting Street which is Dawan. There are also many people living in Chuanfanshi, but the village is small and shopping is far away.
2. I want to ride a bike. Along the way, we can see many tourists riding electric bicycles like us, facing the wind and experiencing the scenery along the way. Everything is very novel. We rode the east route to Fengchuisha, where we finally got tired of looking at the sea view; the west route took the Grand Ring Road, from Nanwan to Houbi Lake, Maobitou, Baisha , Hongchaikeng, and finally to Hengchun. Fire place, then enter the city, and then return to Kenting Dawan. But be careful when riding. If you are unlucky, the police will fine you NT$300 and only allow one rider. Five percent probability.
3. Those who have never seen the seaside scenery will certainly have an unforgettable impression of Kenting, but if you have been to Beidaihe, Gulangyu , Hainan Island , you may be disappointed.Those so-called pictographic scenic spots are not so realistic. They are far behind the Yangyuan Stone in Danxia Mountain, Maoer Mountain in Taining County, and Chuanfan Stone in Pingtan District. The simplicity of the ancient town is even more difficult to find.
3. Regret: Due to time constraints, I didn’t go to aquarium . It is said to be the oldest and largest in Asia. I haven’t gone to Longkeng yet. Reservation is very troublesome. The number of people is limited to 200 people per day. I just think that there are many more aquariums in the mainland and the volcanic landscape is also If you have a lot, you will feel at ease.
