Southernmost Point of Taiwan Monument Introduction
In many people's impressions, Eluanbi is not only a scenic area in Kenting, but the Eluanbi Lighthouse is also a well-known landmark at the southernmost tip of Taiwan. Many tourists visiting Kenting will certainly not forget to stop by. However, few people know that the actual southernmost point of the main island of Taiwan is located about 1 kilometer away from Eluanbi Park. This area is also a coral reef coastline, covered with奇石 and featuring magnificent sea views that are equally unforgettable. Starting from Eluanbi Park, the path is clearly marked, and after reaching the parking lot at the southernmost point, a short walk will lead you to the entrance of the red brick pathway to Taiwan's southernmost point. The red brick path is about 500 meters long, flanked by dense trees, providing a quiet environment without direct sunlight. Occasionally, you might also see a few butterflies fluttering about. As you continue along the path, you can gradually hear the sound of the waves, getting clearer as you approach, enhancing the feeling of the vast sky and ocean. After about ten minutes of walking, you will arrive at the location of the Taiwan southernmost point's symbolic marker. The southernmost point is adjacent to the Bashi Channel, with the Pacific Ocean on the left side facing the sea. On a wooden viewing platform, a concrete structure representing the southernmost point stands, with coordinates of 120 degrees 50 minutes 0 seconds east and 21 degrees 53 minutes 59 seconds north. From certain angles, it resembles a sea conch with a pointed top, while others see it as a bamboo shoot; from another perspective, the two separated stones symbolize the connection between land and sea, embodying the peaceful coexistence of all things in nature. Standing at the southernmost point where land meets sea in Taiwan, one can truly feel a profound connection. Looking out from the viewing platform towards the sea, the endless ocean and sky stretch before your eyes, revealing a kind of magic in the horizon that seems to empty the crowds and frustrations, letting your mood become relaxed and at ease. Even the sight of waves crashing against the rocks can transform into a romantic imagination of playful banter!
