| Our first stop was at Little Bay Beach 小灣沙灘 GPS : 21.941788, 120.804876 |
 |
| At the entrance of Little Bay Beach. |
 |
| We took a few brief stops before we went over to the southern most tip of Taiwan such as Shadao 砂島 GPS : 21.914394, 120.847342 |
 |
| Somewhere close to the tip we parked the scooters at the entrance and took a walk to the tip. |
 |
| The walk was relaxing with nice thick green canopy along the path. |
 |
| Finally we were here at the southern most tip of Taiwan. |
 |
| And the iconic monument at the tip. |
 |
| One more for the album. |
As we continued to ride around the route, we could see couple of small and cute cottage houses, some operating as restaurant and cafe.
 |
| We ventured into a rather small path to a cliff somewhere at GPS: 21.922355, 120.854029 known as Longpan 龍磐 Park and enjoyed the vast and magnificent view. |
 |
| The wind was so strong that it could even blow off your cap away if you are not careful. |
 |
Longpan Park
龍磐公園 |
 |
| The strong wind is about to transform us into Power Rangers ....... |
 |
| Further up of Longpan came a place with sandy wind where you could actually feel the sand blasting onto your face and this place is called Fengchuisha 風吹沙 GPS : 21.947300, 120.838718 |
 |
As we continued to travel north to Gangkou Suspension Bridge
屏東滿州港口吊橋 GPS : 21.988211, 120.841791 |
 |
| One of the several shops at this commercial corner of Gangkou |
 |
We decided to have our meal at this shop, Chashan Beef Noodle Restaurant
茶山牛肉麵 GPS : 21.989704, 120.841935 |
 |
| The menu on the wall for you to pick your choice of dishes available here. |
 |
| I love this DIY creation holding chopsticks using disposed plastic wrappers, often these wrappers are found flying all over the place. |
 |
| My choice of an ecomony rice what we called as "chap fan" in Kuala Lumpur. |
 |
| We continued the anti clockwise loop turning towards the western side of the tip. |
 |
| After cutting across the southern tip from east to west we stopped by at a park in the vicinity of Longluantan Nature Center 龍鑾潭自然中心 before coming to this Baisha Beach GPS : 21.936279, 120.717618. The beach is where famous film director Ang Lee shot his scenes for "Life of Pi". |
 |
| At the southern tip on the western side with nice blue sea, rugged rock formation and lovely breeze. This place is known as the Moubitou Park. |
 |
| A shopping arcade at Moubitou Park with enticing street food that one just simply could not resist. |
 |
| The beauty of this nature formation is absolutely outstanding and worth the time and money to visit. |
 |
Maobitou Park
貓鼻頭公園 can be found at GPS : 21.922288, 120.737514 |
 |
| A gorgeous length of rocky coastline with clear waving blue water. |
 |
| The pavilion for visitors to have a good view of the surrounding. |
 |
| Bye bye beautiful Moubitou it was time to go back to our "minsu". |
 |
| We passed by Hengchun Fishing Building at Houbihu GPS : 21.945463, 120.743990 and later I found out that it used to be a small fishing village. The place is rich in fishing resources from the Pacific Ocean and Bashi Channel meeting each other which is an ideal place for fishing. Houbihu is the biggest fishing port in Kenting National Park and also is a tourist attraction. |
 |
| After a short rest at the homestay we walked to the night market to have our desired delicacy. |
 |
| And the delicacy we were eyeing was "3 cup chicken" 三杯雞 Sān bēi jī. Why it's called as such because traditionally this dish is cooked with 3 cups: 1 cup of soy sauce, 1 cup of rice wine, and 1 cup of sesame oil ~ hence the '3 cups'. We had other food too for dinner. Photo credit : Anne Cheong. |
The anticlockwise route we took with our rented scooters with a distance of 68km, in deed it was such a remarkable experience to see the southern tip with motorised two wheels.
