Dajianshan
大尖山
Kenting's landmark peak. The sharp coral reef limestone summit rises above the pasture grasslands and, seen from afar, resembles a pointed hat. Climbing is prohibited, so you can only admire it from a distance and take photos.
Dajianshan is about 318 meters high. It is an isolated peak made of coral reef limestone, with a sharp silhouette visible from Kenting Street and the Nanwan area, making it a landmark of Kenting. At its foot lies the Hengchun Ranch of the Taiwan Livestock Research Institute. Cattle often graze on the wide grasslands, and the sight of them against Dajianshan is very photogenic. Because the rock is fragile and dangerous, climbing Dajianshan is prohibited. Visitors usually take photos from the parking lot at the foot of the mountain or from the grassy slopes beside the ranch. Admission is free. The nearby Dajianshan Recreation Area has restaurants and a campground, making it a good place to rest.
