Things to do in Pingtung

I went there once shortly after it opened, and finally came again almost thirty years later. Coming here again as an adult is even more healing. I miss the beluga whales, the shipwreck-style underwater tunnel, the stingrays with their funny expressions, the cute penguins, etc. Half a day wasn't enough time, I wish I could have stayed a little longer. KlooK's 'buy and use' is very convenient, but you still have to exchange it for a physical ticket to enter, I think it should be more advanced.

The renovation of the old factory at Pingtung 1936 Cultural Base is a huge success. It perfectly preserves historical traces while injecting modern digital art. The exhibition flow in the museum is well-designed, with both permanent and special exhibitions being incredibly captivating. The immersive light and shadow interaction is particularly stunning, allowing for many beautiful photos. You can easily spend an entire afternoon here. I highly recommend everyone come and experience the cultural charm of Pingtung!

We decided to visit Lu Jing at the last minute. Upon arrival, we found that tickets at the gate were 250 NTD, while Klook offered them for 50 NTD less. We immediately purchased tickets on Klook, and entry was very convenient—we just showed the e-voucher to the ticket staff for scanning!

Thank you so much Coach A-Ping for being so meticulous and patient in explaining things to the children. I was initially worried about my husband not being there to help, but the sisters and brothers inside also helped the children with dressing and undressing. I am really grateful. The coach also took so many beautiful and great photos for our family. We love them so much! 💖 I really highly recommend this activity.

The full ticket price is 120 NTD (Klook sells it for 100 NTD), and a half-price ticket is 60 NTD. The Cultural Center has five floors, an incredibly rich collection, and a spacious, comfortable environment with excellent flow. This ticket price is truly a great value! Pingtung County has seen a series of fantastic cultural and artistic buildings and parks open in recent years! I'm quite familiar with the Checheng Sea-Viewing Museum, the Hengchun Cultural Center's Folk Song Hall, the Theater Hall, and the Donggang Royal Boat Cultural Center. Their architecture is very distinctive, not the ugly, government-style buildings often seen. The exhibitions are also very rich, offering deep insights into traditional Taiwanese culture or featuring unique works from various countries. I'm really looking forward to the upcoming Pingtung County Museum of Art. The fact that its inaugural exhibition will be "When Flowers Bloom: Contemporary Japanese Art Exhibition" is amazing. I hope things continue to improve.

Fun experience! Instructions are clear, and photos will be sent within 1-2 days. Do remember to bring your own towel as it’s not provided. It would be great if you have your own vehicle since you’ll need to travel to the location, though it’s quite nearby

The theme park isn't very big. Kids have slides and bouncy castles, and adults can play arcade games. There's also food and entertainment, so both adults and children have a great time! However, two hours for both eating and playing does feel a bit rushed.

Kenting Forest is a superb activity. You can do the full tour in 2.5-3 hours. There, you can see ravines, coral rocks, Formosan macaques, caves, and a lush forest. It's accessible from Kenting Arch via bus 720 for 20 TWD.

Currently, all tickets are half price until the end of March. The air in this park is very good, and you need to be in good shape to reach Shuangliu Waterfall. There are several very clean restrooms along the way. The entire trip takes about 2 hours without rest. There is no food sold inside, so it's best to bring your own. There is a convenience store at the entrance where you turn off the highway, which is a good place to stock up.
