Yehliu

Yehliu

Yehliu (野柳) is a cape on the north coast of Taiwan, between Taipei and Keelung. The cape is 1,700 meters long and is formed by the Datun Mountain (大屯山) stretching into the sea. It is located in Wanli Township, Taipei County. It is famous for the curious shapes carved by sea erosion. These shapes can be viewed at the Yeliu Geopark operated by the North Coast and Guanyinshan National Scenic Area Administration. Several rock formations have been named for their shapes. The most well-known of these is the "Queen's head". Others include "Fairy's Shoe", "Bee's Hive", "Ginger Rocks" and "Sea Candles."
