Kenting is a beach town at the very bottom of Taiwan. It was beautiful and reminded me very much of the good times we had in New Jersey visiting Nana and Pop. In contrast to HK the sky was very clear and the air fresh. What a nice change from being in the city! Along the beach I felt like I was in Jamaica or something. There were huge coral rocks near the beach, bamboo huts along the sand, reclining chairs with bamboo and straw umbrellas, and 5 star hotels. Along the main street that followed the coast was the New Year celebration grounds, which wasn't grounds at all really, it was just the street and store fronts. Loads of street vendors and street food, enough to make one dizzy! Sometimes the fireworks, crowds of people, and smells were overwhelming. We stayed Catholic hostel, just a pad in the middle of the floor in a huge open room... a only when traveling on a budget experience I assure you.
