Year

Returning towards Taipei we spend two nights in Tainan exploring the historical city and walking the expansive downtown area

The last stop in Kaohsiung is at the top of Shoushan Park where a bunker used to protect the city from invasions

The major attraction for us in Kaohsiung are the Dragon and Tiger pagodas some very colorful and a bit kitchy pagodas that are quite fun to visit

The first stop in Kaohsiung are the old walls which are reconstructed in various way and the old impressive city gate with some nice views

Last stop in the Kenting area is at Long Luan Lake Nature Center a surprisingly interesting area with few visitors and many birds

We return today to Longpan Park where we rained out yesterday and enjoy the very windy overlook and beautiful views

We spend the afternoon before the rain exploring the beautiful caves and rock formations of Kenting National Forest Recreation Area

We start the day with a visit to the beaches of Kenting and a short swim in the turbulent ocean while looking for birds and enjoying the weather

While staying in Kenting we make heavy use of the night market both to buy yummy dinner snacks and to buy fruits and additonal snacks for breakfast

After a morning of exploration we arrive in the afternoon at the harbor and eat lunch while waiting for the ferry which is surprisingly smooth today
