Longkeng Ecological Reserve Introduction
Located at the starting point of Jiae Highway, Longkeng is an uplifted coral reef known for its rugged terrain. The vigorous erosion has created unique formations such as cliffs and canyons throughout the Longkeng area, which is named for its dragon-like shape. The topography of Longkeng can be divided into five parts: seaside grasslands, coral reef plateaus, canyons, karst features, and cliffs. Among them, the vast groups of Sphagnum moss on the grasslands and the extensive areas of water hyacinth on the coral reef represent the largest populations of these species in Taiwan. The towering cliffs on both sides give the impression of stepping into a prehistoric era, resembling a scene from Jurassic Park. Access to the Longkeng Ecological Conservation Area requires prior approval from the Kenting National Park Administration.
