Yehliu, Coastal geological park in New Taipei City, Taiwan.
Description
Yehliu is a coastal geological park in New Taipei City that stretches into the ocean with numerous stone formations. These striking rocks were shaped by wind and water erosion over millennia and form one of Taiwan's most remarkable natural landscapes.
History
The stone formations originated from the Daliao Miocene Formation and were shaped by geological processes affecting the Datun Mountains. These rocks reveal a long history of earth-shaping forces that transformed the coast over millennia.
Culture
The area remains tied to traditional fishing practices carried out for generations in the nearby Guihou Bay. This ancient craft continues to shape life in this coastal region today.
Practical
The park is easily accessible and visitors can explore the various formations on marked paths. It is wise to wear weather-resistant clothing and sturdy shoes with good grip, as the rocks can be slippery, especially after rain or when waves are active.
