Yehliu Geopark
Yehliu Geopark is internationally renowned for its unique sea-erosion landforms, earning it the reputation of being a masterpiece carved by nature's own hand. The park is home to hundreds of thousands of years of strangely shaped rocks, such as the Queen's Head, Fairy Shoe, and Candlestick Rock. Strolling along the coastal trail feels like entering a geological museum, where you can closely observe the mushroom rocks and ginger rocks sculpted by waves and wind. Yehliu is a must-visit destination for learning about Earth science and experiencing the spectacular coastal wonders.
Shimen Wedding Plaza
Shimen Wedding Plaza is the North Coast’s first-ever themed wedding plaza. This purely white, Mediterranean-style architectural site is marked by a romantic white bell tower and Greek-style colonnades. The plaza is situated right next to the sea, boasting a beautiful environment where the pristine blue and white design perfectly blends with the coastline. It is not only a popular spot for newlyweds to take wedding photos but also an ideal location for couples and tourists to enjoy the sea view and capture wonderful moments.
Linshanpi Scenic Trail
The Linshanpi Scenic Trail is a flat, easily accessible coastal path renowned for its distinctive andesite rock formations. Along the trail, you can observe wind-eroded rocks (ventifacts) and the coastal algal reef ecosystem, offering a pure and captivating landscape. This location is also one of the filming sites for the movie Secret. Strolling along the path, with the gentle sea breeze blowing, you'll find the turquoise sea and blue sky on one side and lush green forests on the other, making it a hidden gem for enjoying nature and escaping the hustle and bustle.
