Longkeng Ecological Protected Area
龙坑生态保护区
A high coral reef cliff coastline on the east side of Eluanbi, with sharp, dramatic reef rocks. Advance permission is required to enter.
Longkeng lies on the east side of Eluanbi Park and is a stretch of high coral reef coastline at Taiwan's southernmost tip. Long-term wave erosion has broken the coral reef plateau into huge cliffs and rocks, creating a spectacular coastline. You can also see coastal forest and tropical plants. To protect the ecology, Longkeng operates a permit system. You must apply in advance on the Kenting National Park Headquarters website. Daily numbers are limited, and the area is closed at certain times, such as Mondays (subject to announcements). The reef rocks are sharp, so wear closed-toe shoes and stay on the trail. The coordinates are approximate.
