Kending, Taiwan

This is soooo belated.....

Anne and I, well we went for a lil holiday down south of Taiwan. Think it was 5 days 4 nights, consisting of Kending and Kaoshiung. I will only post about Kending now.

The atmosphere there reminds me a lot of Malaysia, hospitality, skin color, apek look...... being the only difference, they all speak mandarin.

We spend the first 3 days in kending;

A brief... Kending is the southern most part of Taiwan, famous for vast grassland, and beautiful sexy beaches.

Every night, a long stretch of road, Kending Street, will be lined up with food stalls, took us about 1 1/2 hours walking from end to end

Chow Toufu!!!!!!

Ice cream.....

Me favourite
Traveling around Kending can be arduous, mode of transportation? Scooter!

Could only go up to 60km per hour max on this beast

WARNING:! The authorities are pretty strict about having your driving licence, shops will ask you about it! 
I actually don't have a motorbike licence hehe.

Interesting stops in Kending.
Gao Shan
Gao Shan is the highest peak in Kending, its about 45 minutes ride from Kending street, and please, don't attempt if you are not fit! Took us a staggering 15 minutes to reach the peak.

Gotto say though, the sunset is fabulous!


Some night seafood makan area
 I love this spot! You will be spoil for choice!

Yum Yum

Puffer FISH!

Our 3 course meal
Its the highlight, food wise. Cheap food, delicious. A word of warning though, do plan your trip early, else you will end up riding alone in the dark, creepy, really creepy, bugs flying around, whacking your helmet... GROSS. We were satisfied having dinner there, I was filled on the way back.. go figure.

We, Asians, always leave some memories behind...






Final note on Kending, do plan ahead, hotels are usually fully booked. We did bunk in a very nice one, called LoveSea Inn.
Please, don't conceive any ideas ok?
