There are several awesome rock formations sceneries in Asia but the one in Taiwan is unique. Yehliu Geopark is a tourist spot that can be found at the remotest area north of Taiwan. It is a 1700-meter stretched of natural rocks formed by geological forces and strong ocean waves.
The park can be found after passing through the Yehliu fishing harbor and the temple on the right ride of the street. There is a spacious parking lot and at the left is the park’s entrance and visitor center and 7-11 at the right side.
At the entrance you will see pictures of different rock formations and they named them carp, candle, ice cream, ginger, mushroom and elephant rock, queen’s head and fairy’s shoe etc.
The scenic attraction opens at 8am and closes at 5pm. We were thirty minutes earlier when we arrived and we thought that we were the only tourists at that time. But at around 7:55am, busses came and people were all rushing to the entrance gate for the ticket. So be sure to be there early so you will be the first in line.
How to get there?
The easiest way to get there is from the Taipei Main Station. It is a 90-minute ride so we had to get up and prepare early to get there on time. Yehliu is in Wanli District of New Taipei City.
We went to Kuo-Kuang Bus Terminal, it is near M5 and Y7 Exit of Taipei Main Station. This is the new bus terminal which was just completed in April 2017. Advisee the terminal counter attendee that you are going to Yehliu, bus number 1815 at around NTD96.
The Bus terminal is at the right side facing this station.
It is a 90-minute ride to get to Yehliu. We asked the bus driver to inform us of the Yehliu bus stop.
This is the bust stop for Yehliu. Nothing much but just a road. No shed, not even bench at the side of the street.
At the bus stop, there is a road at the right side and you will see this sign at the corner.
Just go straight and pass through the fishing harbor and the temple till you see the parking lot.
