Hengchun Peninsula

Hengchun Peninsula（Traditional Chinese：恆春半島） is located in Pingtung County,^[1] Taiwan,^[2] and is named after Hengchun Township.^[3] It is the southernmost part of Taiwan.^[4] The Hengchun Peninsula is surrounded by the sea on three sides:^[5] the Taiwan Strait to the west,^[6] the Bashi Channel to the south,^[7] and the Pacific Ocean to the east.^[8] Only the northern end of the peninsula connects to the main island of Taiwan.^[9] Due to the maritime influence, the climate is moderated by the sea's moisture.^[10] The peninsula's terrain is mostly below 800 meters in height,^[11] a result of the steep descent from the Central Mountain Range,^[12] allowing sea breezes to pass through easily. These environmental factors distinguish it from the main island of Taiwan.

The Hengchun Peninsula is also a popular tourist destination,^[13] known for Kenting National Park.^[14] However, due to its geographic location and terrain, it is often affected by typhoons.^[15]
