Best Ways to Travel to Kenting, Taiwan 2020 | Transportation Bundles, Discounts, and more!

Kenting, Taiwan

Kenting is in the Southernmost part of Taiwan. Here, you get to enjoy some beautiful white sand beaches and beautiful views.

In this article, I will tell you all the ways to get to Kenting and give you the best transportation discounts.

? Getting Around: Taiwan

Taiwan has a really convenient public transportation system. I’ve written a full guide on getting around, so I won’t explain too much here. ➡️ See: Getting Around Taiwan: A Guide to Transportation for Foreign & Solo-Travelers

In general, getting around is very simple using Taiwan’s ➡️ EasyCard or ➡️ IPass. Both of these cards work for all public transportation around the entire island. You can even use them to pay for items at convenience stores such as 7-Eleven, FamilyMart, HiMart, etc.

If you plan to visit Taiwan often and have the U.S. Global Entry, you can also consider signing up for Taiwan’s E-Gate program. ➡️ See: How to Skip the Lines at Taiwan’s Airports with U.S. Global Entry

? Getting Around: Kenting

Getting around Kenting, unfortunately, is a bit harder if you don’t have a scooter or a car.

? How To Get to Kenting

There are two ways to get to Kenting. If you are going from Taipei, you can either go by plane or by High Speed Rail + Car.

Flights are only available from the Taipei Songshan Airport (TSA) once a day. It flies directly to Kenting’s nearest Airport in Pingtung: Hengchun Airport.

? By High Speed Rail + Car/Shuttle

? Optional: Stop and Explore Kaohsiung

Since you have to pass by Kaohsiung in order to get to Kenting, I recommend spending a day or two in Kaohsiung to explore the city.

You can see my Kaohsiung Travel Guide here:

?️ From Kaohsiung to Kenting

The only way to get from Kaohsiung to Kenting is either by car, shuttle, or taxi/Uber. If you have an International Driver’s License/Permit and want to drive, you can rent a car at one of Taiwan’s many car rental companies. See Next Section.

Taxi and Uber are the least budget option, so I would NOT recommend.
