I’ve been wanting to visit Yehliu, with its unique rock structures, since my last visit to Taiwan. I feel like I still have so much to discover on this little tropical island. There is too much beauty and history, which I also believe to be true in the United States. Nature is always there, keeping us on our toes. On our way over to Yehliu, we grabbed another train – which is our transportation of choice. Melody and Marisa were tired from an early morning.

We had to take a pretty long taxi ride to get to the geopark, which isn’t off many public transportation stops. It was a lot easier than navigating the bus system, especially with Mitchell’s record.

We walked around, enjoying the beauty of the park and I asked Melody to pose next to a rock formation.

Sand dollars and other sea creatures were also fossilized in the hard packed sand.

One of the most visited formations was the teapot structure.

The tourist loved the queen’s head, which had a boardwalk made to reduce the foot traffic on top of a wearing surface.

I didn’t want to wait at the queen’s head yet, so we ventured off toward the water. I didn’t see many people here trying to discover other parts of the park.

A naturally formed cave.

Finally, the Queen’s head. They only allowed posed shots, but didn’t let anyone take a photo of the head by itself.

After we were done with Yehliu, we headed over to the Keelung night market for some dinner.

The night market was strange, or all of them are, since they are located adjacent to religious temples.

Getting some Oyster Pancakes.

I really wanted to purchase some of this vendor’s stinky tofu, but he said he wasn’t allowed to sell in these parts. A permit was required, no push carts allowed.

Before our train ride back, we walked around and found this cool Keelung neon sign.
