Hengchun
A city located near the southern tip of Taiwan Province, China. Nearby are tourist resorts such as Kenting Park, which features a collection of tropical plants, Eluanbi, the southern tip of Taiwan, and Sichongxi Hot Springs, and Hengchun is the base for these and the commercial center. The lighthouse was built on the raised coral plateau of Eluanbi in 1882 (Guangxu 8), and is famous among sailors. "Eluan" is a transliteration of the Paiwan language and means "sail." In addition, in parts of the town, the city walls and gates built in 1875 (Guangxu 1) during the Qing Dynasty remain.
