City & Place Guide

Tropical gateway to Taiwan's southern coast and aboriginal culture.

Pingtung County sits at Taiwan's southern tip, bordering Kaohsiung to the north and flanked by the Pacific Ocean and Taiwan Strait. It is one of Taiwan's warmest and sunniest regions, making it a year-round destination for beach lovers, nature seekers, and those curious about indigenous Paiwan and Rukai cultures.

The county stretches from flat agricultural plains famous for black pearl wax apples and sagittaria to the rugged peaks of the Central Mountain Range and the pristine coastline of Kenting National Park. Visitors can explore coral reefs, hot springs, mountain villages, and lively night markets all within a short distance of each other.

Pingtung City, the county seat, offers a relaxed, unhurried urban base with excellent food stalls and easy rail connections southward. The area rewards slow travelers who enjoy combining beach days with cultural exploration and farm-fresh tropical produce.

  • •Kenting National Park — Taiwan's oldest national park with white-sand beaches and coral reefs.
  • •Eluanbi Lighthouse — dramatic southernmost tip of Taiwan with scenic coastal views.
  • •Checheng Old Street — a preserved timber-trade village with artisan shops and cafes.

Getting around: Taiwan Railways (TRA) connects Pingtung City to Kaohsiung and runs south toward Fangliao, making rail the most convenient backbone for travel. Local county buses reach Kenting and coastal towns, though schedules can be infrequent. Renting a scooter or car is strongly recommended for exploring rural areas and the national park at your own pace. Taxis are available in Pingtung City, and the Uber app works in more populated zones.

Best time: October through March offers the most comfortable temperatures, lower humidity, and clear skies, making it ideal for outdoor activities and beach visits.

Local food: Don't miss black pearl wax apples, Hakka-style stir-fries, indigenous millet dishes, milkfish porridge, and the grilled seafood stalls lining the Kenting main street.
