Pingtung Travel: Trip to Kenting - Sashimi and Beaches

Longpan Park, Kenting

Beginning of Autumn, but the weather is still pretty warm. We went on a short trip to Kenting, which is about a 3-hour drive from our place. It felt tiring to sit in the car for such a long time. We arrived at noon, so our first stop was for lunch. There are two cheap seafood shops, and we chose the one that serves sashimi (40 pieces for only 200NT).

On the first day, we ate at 後壁湖邱家生魚片, and on the following day, we tried 阿興生魚片. Since it was lunchtime, both shops were very busy. Personally, I would recommend the first shop. In the second shop, some of the fish had visible blood, which I didn't really want to eat. Apart from sashimi, we also ordered stir-fried cabbage. Both shops tasted similar, but the second shop served a larger portion of cabbage.

We stayed at 墾丁嵐洋莊園民宿/烤肉/Lanyanginn BBQ. There are several cabins, all separated, so you won't hear any noise from others. They also have a swimming pool suitable for kids. Since it's not the busy season, the price was only 1500NT (3000NT during June - August). There are a pet monkey and duck wandering around, and you can also do scuba diving.

On the first day, we went to a small place where people practice diving. It was high tide, so there was no beach, but it was a peaceful place for kids to play. It was quite nice to see no people wearing masks; it felt really normal. When will it no longer be mandatory to wear masks outside? There have been almost no cases for a long time.

On the second day, we went to South Bay (南灣遊憩區), which is always full of people swimming and engaging in other water activities. We had plenty of time, so we also drove to Longpan Park (龍磐公園). On the way, we made stops at Chunfan Stone (船帆石) and Shadao (砂島貝殼砂展示館) - a small museum showcasing shells and coral beaches. There is a beautiful beach here, but it's not open for tourists. Other than that, there isn't much to see here. 
We wanted to visit Jialeshui Fall (佳樂水瀑布), but it required an entrance fee, so we decided to skip it and drove back. Instead of taking the coastal road, we drove through the mountains all the way to Hengchun Town, and then we drove a bit south for our lunch. While waiting in line, we finally received some good news - after a month of waiting, cream cheese arrived in Taiwan. Sadly, the shop informed us that it's still limited and 70% more expensive than before. I don't feel good about raising my prices again, but my costs suddenly increased by 20NT. From Kenting, we drove to Tainan City to buy our cake ingredients and finally returned home. It's so tiring to travel with a kid... We could barely sleep as he kept moving in bed.
