    I was just at Shilin yesterday, and I fell for every tourist trap you mentioned.

      Even Taiwanese people say they get ripped off in Kenting and Hengchun. You often hear them complain about 'tourist traps' and say things like, 'The quality of domestic travel is so bad, you're better off going to Japan.'

        When I go to Kenting, I skip Kenting Main Street. I'd rather go for a hotel buffet or find well-known eateries in Hengchun.

          Kenting is a total rip-off... just don't go.

            I've already been scammed there. Next time I drive to Taitung, I'm definitely speeding right through Kenting without a moment's stop.

              This must be Kenting Main Street. When we took a taxi, the driver warned us that this street is expensive and the food is bad. He said locals all eat in Hengchun and suggested we stay there too.

                  When I'm in Kenting, 7-Eleven is the only place I trust (for food).

                      People in the know rent a scooter and head to Hengchun for meals.

                        That's exactly where we ate, in Hengchun.

                          Go eat at Ali Seafood (阿利海產); the seafood at Houbihu isn't as fresh.
