About

Yehliu Geopark is a spectacular promontory on the North Coast, famous for its otherworldly rock formations carved by millions of years of sea and wind erosion. The park is a surreal landscape of 'honeycomb' rocks, 'ginger' rocks, and the world-famous 'Queen’s Head' formation. The atmosphere is like stepping onto another planet. The sensory experience is dominated by the sound of the ocean and the sight of these bizarre, natural sculptures set against the deep blue sea. Expert recommendation: Take photos of the 'Queen's Head' from the designated side, but be prepared to wait in line. Pro tip: Stay behind the red safety lines at all times, as the waves can be unpredictable. The park is very exposed to the sun and wind, so bring an umbrella or a hat. Visit early in the morning to capture the formations in the best light before the tour buses arrive.

Keelung Night Market (Miaokou)

Located near the Keelung harbor, the Miaokou Night Market is world-famous for its high-quality seafood and its unique orderly layout. The market centers around the Dianji Temple, with each stall clearly numbered and featuring English signs. The atmosphere is vibrant, humid, and deeply rooted in maritime culture. The sensory experience is a feast of grilled squid, butter crabs, and the famous 'Nutritious Sandwiches' (crispy fried bread with ham and cucumber). Expert recommendation: Try the 'Ding Bian Cuo' (shrimp and pork noodle soup), a local specialty with a history dating back centuries. Pro tip: Take a train from Taipei Main Station to Keelung; it’s an easy 45-minute trip. The market is at its best around 7 PM. After eating, walk to the harbor to see the massive cruise ships and enjoy the sea breeze.
