Kentington Resort
Pingtung CountyThe sunshine, blue skies, and lush greenery of southern Taiwan have long been favorites among vacationers, while the Kenting area is particularly blessed with rich ecological resources. For those looking for a relaxing place to stay while visiting Kenting, Xiaokenting Resort is an ideal choice. Located in Manzhou, known for its pastoral grasslands, the resort is a beautiful retreat nestled amid verdant mountains and forests. Far removed from the congestion and fast pace of city life, it offers a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere surrounded by nature.
Surrounded by mountains, Xiaokenting Resort has a distinctive terrain that attracts large numbers of migratory birds. Guests can ride bicycles provided by the resort along winding paths between the wooden cabins, listening to the clear calls of birds while enjoying the cool breeze. Visitors can also make their way to the Bird-Watching Pavilion on the hillside to the left of the resort, where expansive views provide a refreshing sense of openness.
Every autumn and winter marks the peak season for migratory birds passing through the area. During this period, visitors may spot Brown Shrikes throughout the resort, as well as the spectacular sight of thousands of “National Day Birds” gathering and roosting in the area. At dusk, birds of prey can also be seen gliding peacefully through the sky.
Covering an area of 40 hectares, Xiaokenting Resort features 304 wooden cabins, allowing guests to embrace nature and enjoy the surrounding mountains and forests while taking in the subtle natural fragrance of wood.
Inside the wooden cabins, the unsettling noise of traffic is replaced by the soothing sounds of insects and birds outside. Instead of the cold, impersonal cityscape, guests are greeted by ever-changing views of the natural scenery beyond their windows.
Every wooden cabin in the resort is nestled on a carpet of green grass beneath the shade of leafy trees. Open the doors and windows, and a series of vivid, one-of-a-kind scenes of nature unfolds before your eyes, almost like a living ecological animation. In moments like these, even the material luxuries of city life can seem unnecessary.
At Xiaokenting Resort, happiness is found in the simple pleasure of slowing down, embracing nature, and enjoying a truly carefree and relaxing getaway.
