Another major feature of Kenting National Forest Recreation Area is its limestone landform. At the bottom level of the forest, there live precious tiny dwellers like the Huang Ze gray crabs (Geothelphusa albogilva) and Satsuma batanica pancala, endemic species to Taiwan. At times, you can even sight the elegant silhouette of the rare Black-napped Oriole. Yet, the most captivating scene will be the migrant birds visiting during the autumn and winter, such as Gray-faced Buzzards in October. Groups of Taiwan macaque and Red-bellied tree squirrel are often seen in the Recreation Area. The Japanese established the “Hengchun Tropical Botanical Garden” here in 1906, which has been operating for over a century to date. Merely a 10 minute walk from Kenting Street, it is the second national forest recreational area in Taiwan, home to thriving species of the uplifted coral reef forest and monsoon rainforest: big Bishopwood that cling tightly to the reef, Looking Glass Trees with extensive buttress roots, White Banyan Trees with countless aerial roots, etc. Such an ecosystem is a mix of rich ecology, monsoon rainforest, and limestone landform, offering visitors an alternative touring experience in Kenting. This one-of-a-kind light show is guaranteed to delight guests of all ages with its dazzling decor and endless photo ops.Formerly an ocean garden where coral polyps, calcareous algae, foraminifera, and shells flocked and thrived, Kenting National Forest Recreation Area became a unique forest ecosystem, an Uplifted Coral Reef Forest, thanks to the plate movement of the Earth 500 thousand years ago. Discover six extraordinary spaces, including Sparkling Light, Into the Wonderland, Magical Trees, A Great Celebration, Treats and Sweets, and Beyond the Forest.
