During summer or peak holiday periods (including Saturdays and Sundays), the Kenting Street Night Market often temporarily closes the streets to ensure visitor safety. During this time, various vehicles are prohibited from entering. When the streets are closed, please board at Kenting Archway or Xiaowan Bus Stops. You can directly inquire about street closures from the night market vendors or the on-duty police officers at the Kenting Police Station.
During summer and consecutive holidays (including Saturdays and Sundays), the routes between Kaohsiung and Kenting are susceptible to traffic and weather conditions, leading to traffic congestion or slow-moving traffic (as the Kenting Express Line operates on a circular schedule, delays in one departure may affect subsequent departures). If you have booked tickets for your return trip to board the High-Speed Rail (HSR) and to avoid the aforementioned impacts, it is strongly recommended to board your return trip northward 2 to 3 hours in advance to ensure a smooth journey throughout.
