Yehliu Geopark 野柳地質公園

Went to this interesting park more than a month ago.. thanks to my senior Joe who kinda dragged me out of my room on a Sunday.. didn't know much about this place before this, in fact I didn't even know that it exists, much less that it is a "must-visit" place in Taiwan for tourists..



Anyway, this Geopark was packed with tourists from China.. also, as it was by the sea, the wind was crazily strong.. however, the stone formations there are unbelievable.. here are some of the interesting ones...



"Queen Head" - e most famous stone formation here


"Fairy Shoe" on the rocks..
The weather was very erratic.. with haze coming and going every 10 minutes or so.. but it was great for taking photos... :)
As the park is located just beside the sea with steep cliffs and shores, there are "watchers" around to warn people to stay off the edges and the shallow shores..
visitors are not allowed to cross the red lines

There is a scenic outlook tower at one corner of the park.. and we went there.. to kinda get away from the crowd.. and the view along the walk there was amazing...

Took lots of nice photos.. which I will be posting here with other articles.. All in all, it was good to get out of my little room and enjoy some sea breeze.. :)
