Nanrenshan Ecological Protected Area
南仁山生态保护区
A low-elevation tropical monsoon forest reserve, centered on the tranquil Nanren Lake. Advance application is required for entry, and it's a good place for eco-hiking.
Nanrenshan lies in Manzhou Township and is one of the most ecologically intact areas of Kenting National Park. It preserves low-elevation tropical monsoon forest with an exceptionally rich variety of plants and animals. The trail open to visitors is the Nanren Lake Trail, about 4–5 kilometers round trip. It ends at Nanren Lake, surrounded by mountains, with calm waters where waterbirds often gather. To protect the ecology, you must apply in advance on the Kenting National Park Headquarters website to enter. Daily numbers are limited, and the area is closed on Mondays (subject to announcements). The trail is gentle, but mosquitoes are plentiful, so bring insect repellent and water.
