The park encompasses diverse attractions — from the windswept cliffs and endless sea views of Longpan Park, to the dramatic coral rock formations and panoramic ocean vistas at Maobitou. Inland, the Kenting National Forest Recreation Area offers shaded trails that weave through ancient banyan trees and limestone caves. Nearby lies the historic Hengchun township, famous for its well-preserved city walls from the Qing dynasty and charming old streets.
