After half a year of planning for Kenting
The sea is really very blue and beautiful
But the wind in December is really strong
Riding a scooter feels like your head is about to be blown off

💡Tips
🌟About Accommodation
Since we were traveling by public transportation, we stayed near Kenting Street. There are many guesthouses around, so it's recommended not to trust online photos too much. Look at more guides and guest reviews before deciding;
🌟About Food
Most of our main meals were at some stir-fry restaurants, and the taste was generally average. Almost every stir-fry place has a local specialty dish called 'Lover's Tears'. The Kenting Night Market is not very big, so don't have too high expectations for food. Personally, I think Kenting is more about the island scenery;
🌟When renting a scooter, make sure to check the battery level!!! Even if the owner says the battery is enough, be sure to double-check and ask how to handle compensation if the battery runs out midway. Test if the phone can be reached. We had a big issue with renting a scooter, so compare multiple shops and read more rental guides;
🌟Be cautious about cycling around the island in winter. We wore short sleeves because it looked sunny outside, but the strong wind made us question our life choices. We turned back at Eluanbi Park and gave up on the West Line cycling.
