Pingtung County

Pingtung County is a county in southern Taiwan that occupies the island’s southernmost peninsula and includes several smaller islands.

Kenting National Park: A national park in southern Taiwan protecting coral reefs, coastal landscapes, and tropical ecosystems. It protects the peninsula’s southern tip and is Pingtung’s best-known natural destination.
Hengchun Peninsula: The southernmost peninsula of Taiwan, extending into the Luzon Strait. Pingtung occupies this peninsula, which gives the county its distinctive southern reach.
Pingtung City: The county seat and largest city of Pingtung County, Taiwan. The county seat grew from the historic regional center known as A-kau.
Cape Eluanbi: A headland at Taiwan’s southernmost point, within Kenting National Park. It marks the peninsula’s tip and gives Pingtung its most recognizable coastal landmark.
Kaohsiung: A major port city and special municipality in southwestern Taiwan. Pingtung borders Kaohsiung, and the two areas share transport and economic connections.
Liuqiu Island: A coral island in the Taiwan Strait administered as a township of Pingtung County. Its reefs and sea-turtle habitat make the offshore island a major ecotourism destination.
Central Mountain Range: A mountain system running lengthwise through Taiwan. Its southern ridges form Pingtung’s eastern highlands and separate the county from the Pacific coast.
A-kau: The former name of the settlement that became Pingtung City. Its name is associated with the origins of the county’s modern name.
Maobitou: A coastal headland in Kenting National Park, known for its distinctive rock formations. Its eroded reef rock illustrates the county’s varied southern coastline.
Taiwan Railways Administration: Taiwan’s state-owned railway operator, which runs the island-wide conventional rail network. Rail services connect Pingtung City and other county towns with western Taiwan.
