Pingtung

Pingtung is one of Taiwan’s hidden gems, offering miles of beaches, parks, historic landmarks and awe-inspiring natural beauty. The area is notable for its general lack of industrialisation and light pollution, making it an excellent spot to take in the migratory buzzards and blankets of stars above the lush farmland, while Kenting National Park is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts and beachgoers.

Pingtung is heavy on tradition – think meals of pigs’ feet, Gaoshu dates and Formosan sambar deer – and the rich history of aboriginal tribes can be explored at the Taiwan Indigenous Peoples Culture Park. Hengchun Old Town is the only old town in Taiwan, and although now situated on a busy roundabout, it still offers a unique glimpse of old-world Taiwan.
