It's a very popular tourist destination in northern Taiwan, an easy day trip out from Taipei. Maybe a little too popular, as in it's extremely crowded. But there's some very eye-catching scenery.
I'm sure there's lots here for geologists to wonder at, but mostly we're looking at the various formations, and trying to work out which is the 'Fairy Shoe', which the 'Elephant Rock', the 'Ice Cream Rock', and the 'Kissing Rock'. The most famous rock of all is the 'Queen's Head'. It's said to look like Queen Nefertiti (though one site said Queen Elizabeth 1st). That's only when you view it from the correct position though, and there was an enormous queue to get to that position!
There were several prominent sea anemone fossils,and signs saying not to damage the fossils and things. I'd prefer that they'd actually protected them with fences though.
These were the 'sea candles'. Possibly unique to here?
