Kenting National Park will host two visitor-centre programmes in Pingtung on 3 October 2026, including Whale song echoes - marine spirits environmental education camp. The site, known locally by a name meaning Kenting National Park, will also stage a public stargazing session focused on Saturn.
Visitor-centre programmes set for 3 October
The official national park calendar lists the marine environmental education camp for 3 October 2026 at the Kenting Park Headquarters visitor centre. It gives the organiser as the Kenting National Park Management Office and records a capacity of 20 participants and a fee of NT$200. The calendar also lists Stargazing: Saturn for the same date and venue, with space for 30 participants and no fee stated.
The two programmes place marine education and astronomy inside the park’s visitor facility rather than at a separate festival venue. The official national park events calendar records the date, venue and organiser for both entries.
Kenting National Park links marine learning with its exhibitions
The visitor centre is an educational facility for the wider protected area. The operator says its exhibitions cover the park’s mountain and ocean environment, history, ecology and conservation, using videos, photographs, models and sound.
That setting gives the 3 October programme a direct connection with the place. The marine camp relates to the park’s coastal and ocean resources, while the evening astronomy session extends the centre’s existing educational themes into the night sky. The visitor-centre information also describes a viewing platform with views towards the Nanwan coast and Maobitou.
Kenting National Park occupies the Hengchun Peninsula in southern Taiwan, within Pingtung County. Its visitor centre is at the park headquarters in Hengchun Township, making it a practical orientation point for understanding the protected area before exploring its coastal, forest and cultural sites.
