We took the same bus from Taipei West Bus Terminal again at the same price NT96 to Yelie. Once we alighted from the same bus stop the other day when heavy rain occured, the scenary was totally different. There were lots of people on the road and it was so easy to find the road leading to this Park. Some people went there for fishing too.
After a short walk from the main road, we could smell the sea and found the signage of Yeliu Geo Park. The entrance fee was NT50 for an adult and half the price for a child. At the Information Centre, there was a voluntary guide offering a free guide around this Park. We gladly took up the offer. This guide is Ms Mu ("mother" in chinese). She explained us the various unique rocks in the Park. There was a glass shoe and an elephant left by a fairy, after she fought with a playful turtle.
There were many candle-lit rocks, marine potholes, mushroom heads etc. The most famous was the Queen's Head whose head would likely to drop in about 15-20 years' time due to wind and seawater erosion. Long, long time ago, Taiwan was under the sea. As the time continues, this island gradually floats up to the surface. The rocks started to form into unique shapes due to the wind and seawater. It was extremely windy at this location as it faced the Pacific Ocean. There were people fishing despite the chance of huge waves. We spent about an hour with this guide before parting.
We continued to explore this Park until we were too tired to walk. Luckily we bought some sushi before we went into the Park. We had cup noodles at the 7 Eleven outside this Park.
By the time, we returned to Taipei, it was nearly 5pm. Everywhere was such crowded since it was weekend. We had some hot drinks and a seafood burger at McDonald. Here Starbucks is more commonly found than McDonald. Youngsters occupying the seats to do their work is also commonly seen here too.
We were in D's room and they returned after 9pm. They managed to go 2 places which was really marvelous.
