Maobitou Park is located on the southeastern headland of Hengchun Peninsula. The origin of the name Maobitou is because of a protruding coral reef rock next to the rock bank that looks like a squatting cat. It has been eroded by waves for a long time, repeated drying and wetting, salt crystallization, and sand undercutting. It is also an ideal location to appreciate the coastline of the Taiwan Strait. If you come in the evening, you will be fortunate to enjoy the magnificent beauty of the sunset dyed the entire sea. If you want to see a more beautiful scenery, you can continue to walk forward to the viewing platform above, you will feel what the real sea and sky are, and you can also see the lovely "cat nose". There is a commercial street at the exit of the park, and it is also a good choice to bring some Taiwanese souvenirs home.

jerryjerryjerry: It was free on New Year's Day. When we arrived in the morning, the crowd was not seen. It was very beautiful. If the grassland is blue and innocent, it is beautiful. Unfortunately, it was a little rainy. The road next to it can be rounded to the southernmost tip of Taiwan, but parking may be more inconvenient, see someone not driving directly up.

Frog Stone

Opening Hours: Open 24 hours

Ticket Price: 30 NT$

Recommended Length of Stay: 0.5-1 Hours

Location: Hengchun Township, Pingtung County, Taiwan 946

Kenting Frog Rock is located on Kenting Road in Hengchun Town. Tanzi Port is mainly composed of conglomerate due to the geology of Kenting, which is mostly foreign rocks entrained in layers of mudstone, causing strange rocks. The Frog Rock is surrounded by coral reefs on the sea-facing side, with a height of about 61 meters. It is just located in the Guanhai Building in front of the Kenting Forest Recreation Area. If you look down from a high place, it looks like a frog is about to jump into the sea, so it is called Make a frog stone. The geological system around the Frog Rock is formed by volcanic rocks with small pebbles. There are peculiar landscapes such as concave walls eroded by waves, coral reefs and shell fossils. In addition to the geological landscape, its plant ecology is also quite rich. For example, Qiongya Begonia (also known as Red Thick Shell), Taiwan Date Palm, etc. are common plants in this area. Because the plants are edible and ornamental, most of them have been damaged and removed. The left side of the Frog Rock is an atoll, and the wind is not easy to blow in due to the relationship between the mountains, which also makes the sea relatively calm and no waves.
