Description:
Sitting at the southern tip of Taiwan on the Hengchun Peninsula, the small town of Ken-ting is in a beautiful area of tropical beaches, sheer sea cliffs, rugged mountains and exotic flora and fauna. It is surrounded by a National Park and is a wonderful area to visit.
Entrance Notes and Cautions:
This harbor has a potentially dangerous entrance between reefs. See recommendations from SV Katie Lee in comments (speech bubble icon) and their useful approach chart (pictured above). The route in blue is approximate. Local advice is to enter on course 350 magnetic, after passing the nuclear plant outflow. The smooth yellow track is the local ferry captured from AIS. SV Katie Lee's track is the furthest north yellow/orange and a little too close to the reef. The light blue/white is the Google Earth estimated ferry track which is across the reef.
Entry at night is not advisable as the channel is very narrow.
