Longkeng Ecological Protection Area Introduction
Located at the starting point of Jiae Highway, Longkeng is an uplifted coral reef known for its rugged wilderness topography. The vigorous erosion has created unique formations in the entire Longkeng area, including cliff skirts and canyons. It is named Longkeng because its shape resembles a dragon. The Longkeng terrain can be divided into five parts: coastal grassland, coral reef terrace, canyons, karst formations, and cliffs. Among them, the clustered white water lilies on the grassland and the large patches of water hyacinth on the coral reef represent the largest groups in Taiwan, creating a magnificent sight. With steep reef rocks on both sides, being in this area feels like stepping into a prehistoric era akin to Jurassic Park. Access to the Longkeng Ecological Protection Area requires prior approval from the Kenting National Park Management Office.
