Destination Highlight: The Rock Formations of Yehliu Geopark and Fuji Fish Port

Discover the rugged beauty of Yehliu Geopark and enjoy a taste of life in Taipei on this eye-opening exploration. Begin with a drive to Chung Cheng Park. Set atop a hill just east of the city, it offers spectacular panoramas of the bustling streets and gleaming harbor below. Witness the park’s signature landmark, a gleaming-white, 74-foot-high statue of the Goddess of Mercy. From here, venture to Yehliu Geopark, a geological wonderland set along a cape that extends more than a mile out to sea. Explore this stark, but awe-inspiring landscape, that features dramatic rock formations shaped over the millennia by the forces of wind, rain and waves. Stand before Queen’s Head Rock, Fairy Shoe, Candlestick Rock and other truly unique works of nature. Afterwards, visit the clamorous Fuji Fish Port, where locals come to find the day’s fresh catch and where you’ll discover the flavors of market life in Taipei.
