I visited on October 4, 2012.
Kenting Main Street, located on Kenting's Big Bay, is a major transportation artery during the day, but at night it transforms into a night market, becoming the main destination for Kenting's nightlife.
Despite Kenting's small size, the night market there rivals those in Taipei or Kaohsiung. It offers a wide variety of snacks and small goods, as well as nightclubs. It's a lively and exciting place to shop and eat.
So, when visiting Kenting, don't just "go to bed early"—plan to spend at least one night exploring Kenting Main Street.
