In-Depth Information
BUS
From Kaohsiung, the Kenting Express (2½/3½ hours NT$413/$383) leaves every 15
minutes. Buses from the HSR station are less frequent (NT$413, three hours, every
hour). Both buses are nonstop from Kaohsiung to Kenting Village, but they take different
routes. Kenting Express goes via Hwy 88, which has less traffic.
TAXI
Taxis take groups of passengers from the main train station in Kaohsiung to Kenting Vil-
lage for NT$350 per person (1½ hours). Single travellers can wait until the taxi fills,
which usually doesn't take long. However, it's difficult for a single traveller to take a
shared taxi from the HSR (per person NT$400) unless your hotel has arranged this.
Getting Around
Kenting Shuttle Bus
(Kěndīng Jiēchē) has four routes; it runs roughly every 30
minutes and stops at almost all major sights in the park. A day pass costs NT$150. Hotels
can arrange car, 4WD or scooter rental. Scooter-rental shops (per day NT$400 to
NT$500) are to the right as you enter Kenting Village from the north. Some shops now
refuse to rent to travellers unless they have a Taiwanese driver's licence.
