Longkeng Ecology Protection Area Introduction
Located at the starting point of Jiae Highway, Longken is an uplifted coral reef known for its rugged wilderness terrain. The vigorous erosion process has created unique formations in the Longken area, such as cliff skirts and canyons. Because its shape resembles a dragon, it is named Longken. The Longken terrain can be divided into five parts: coastal grassland, coral reef platform, canyon, karst formations, and cliffs. Among these, the clusters of Bacopa monnieri on the grasslands and the large patches of water hyacinth on the coral reefs represent the largest populations in Taiwan. With steep coral reef cliffs on both sides, being in this area feels like stepping into a primordial Jurassic park. Access to the Longken Ecological Protected Area requires prior approval from the Kenting National Park Administration.
