Some of the tourist spots in Taipei are hardly accessible by public transports as they are situated far away from main town, e.g. Yeliu (野柳) which located near to sea side and Jiufen (九份) which located on hill's top. So, we decided to hire Jacky as our driver again for 1 day in Taipei in order to save time. Yeliu is a cape of about 1,700m long formed by Datun Mountain (大吨) reaching into the sea. Geological forces such as sea erosion, weathering, and earth movements on the Yeliu's seashore had created distinctive features and shapes on the cape.
The Taipei City's view on our way to Yeliu. Taipei 101 looks so tiny from far.
Our breakfast at Ximending before started our journey to Yeliu. This thick gravy soup is very popular in Taiwan like what we had at Justice Small Buns Shop in Hualian. But this time we ate together with noodles and add-on some sea foods and fish cakes.
The entrance fee is reasonable of NTD 50 for an adult.
It is advisable to visit in the morning if u go there during summer because the weather is too hot in the afternoon.
Small thin cape carved by sea erosion into a short wall.
Nice sea view and many pots formed on ground.
These stones they called them hoodoo stones and I don't know why?!
The above picture shows mixture of mushroom rocks and camel rocks.
Beautiful scene formed by nature forces, not man made.
The most well-known feature here is 'The Queen's Head' (女皇头), an iconic image of Taiwan. However, it is slowly eroded due to weathering and wind flow. So for those who want to see The Queen's Head, u would better take action now before it disappeared! They are also many other shapes formed on the seashore, e.g. 'The Fairy Shoe', 'The Bee Hive', 'The Ginger Rocks', 'The Sea Candles' & etc but I was not manage to see them all due to suffering stomachache and dehydration.
