YELIU GEOPARK 野柳地质公园

Yeliu is a famous scenic attraction on the coast of northern part of Taiwan Island. Yeliu park's amazing rock formations, etched into almost recognizable shapes, sprout rom a desolate sand stone landscape. A number of rock formations have been given imaginative names based on their different shapes. The most well-known is the "The Queen's Head" (女王頭), an iconic image in Taiwan and an unofficial emblem for the town of Wanli. Other formations include "The Fairy Shoe", "The Bee Hive", "The Ginger Rocks" and "The Sea Candles." Some of the rock formations also looks like mushrooms, it just depends how you imagine them.

There are still many other strange rocks on the sea shore. You can see some rocks have a round hole on the ground everywhere. The hole usually contains some round stones and is filled with seawater. Standing on top of the stones, you can enjoy the nice sea view and the relax feeling.

Nearby the Yeliu park's has an Ocean World. The Ocean World is the first Ocean World in Taiwan. You can see different marine animal or oceanic species and many different shows such as dolphin show or sea lion show, except the shows, the springboard diving and the ocean tunnel takes you to a trip to enjoy the amazing ocean world and to see how those special creation lives under the world.


At Yeliu totally can enjoy a wonderful time and have an unforgettable travel experience .
