Taiwan Trip Photos III - Yehliu Geopark

Known as one of the wonders in the world, Yehliu Geopark is a tourist spot one must visit when travelling to Taiwan. What's so special about the park? One is able to see the natural formation of rocks due to corrosion of wind and sea water. The gem of the park is the "Queen's Head". According to experts' analysis, the neck of the "Queen's Head" will break within these 10 years due to the strong wind and sea water that corrodes the rock. Few years back, visitors were still able to touch the "Queen's Head" but not anymore for fear its neck will break.

The entrance fee was only NTD50 (approximately MYR5.5). Definitely worth every cents ;)

While we were in the bus, our local tour guide Jimmy warned us not to go beyond the Red Line which can be found around the park. Needless to say, the Red Line signified danger. According to Jimmy, there were incidents where people were wiped off from the edge of the rocks as a result of surpassing the Red Line. Fair enough. When we were walking our way up to the "Queen's Head", the waves were beating against the rock fiercely and the water also made its way up to us so much so that it splashed on us.

Be cautious that when you are walking along the edges of the rocks. Try not to push your way through or if you notice people are pushing one another, stay away as the unfortunate one might end up at the bottom of the ocean or rocks. I did see people pushing through their way although there were senior visitors around. I was holding my breath, hoping nothing untoward would happen to these vulnerable ones. Where has gone the civilisation?

Does this look like frog or crocodile?

We are obedient lots - we stayed behind the Red Line ;p

Ah,...it's our turn finally! Posing with The Queen's Head.

The rocks behind us had a unique shape. My sis and I looked tiny in between the rocks, eh? Hehe.
