▲ Yehliu Geopark: Located on a cape formed by the Datun Mountain range extending into the sea, its turtle-like shape earned it the nickname "Yehliu Turtle." Shaped by wave erosion, rock weathering, and crustal movements, the park features stunning formations like sea caves, candle-shaped rocks, mushroom rocks, and tofu rocks. Internationally renowned attractions include the Queen's Head, Fairy Shoe, and Candle Stand Rock. The "flame" of the Candle Stand Rock consists of hard nodules, surrounded by intricately carved ring-shaped grooves. Yehliu is not only a famous tourist destination in Taiwan but also a natural classroom for geological wonders, showcasing nature's awe-inspiring craftsmanship!
▲ Jiufen Old Street, located in Ruifang District, New Taipei City, once flourished as the "Asian Gold Capital" during its gold mining boom. After falling into silence with the decline of mining, it regained attention through the film "A City of Sadness." The ancient alleys and abandoned mining relics tell the story of the gold rush, attracting visitors to explore. Jiufen blends mountain and sea, offering distinct seasonal scenery—cherry blossoms in spring, summer breezes, silvergrass in fall, and winter mist. Fushan Temple, Keelung Mountain, and coastal views captivate, while the night lights of fishing boats create a tranquil and romantic atmosphere, making it a perfect spot for nostalgia and art!
▲ Shifen Waterfall: A famous waterfall and gorge view in Taiwan. With a drop of about 20 meters and a width of approximately 40 meters, it's a reverse-slope waterfall resembling North America's Niagara Falls, earning it the nickname "Taiwan's Niagara Falls." The deep pool and misty spray often create rainbows under sunlight, giving it the poetic name "Rainbow Abyss." Surrounded by unique rock formations and towering boulders, the area showcases nature's breathtaking craftsmanship, making it a must-visit attraction for visitors!
▲ Shifen Old Street: Located in Pingxi District, New Taipei City, this charming town stretches along the Keelung River Valley following the Pingxi Railway Line. The unique fusion of train tracks and old streets creates the novel experience of "trains passing by your doorstep," attracting numerous film productions. Though coal mining has ceased, the old street remains vibrant with popular snack shops and sky lantern craft stores. Visitors can write postcards with "Perfect Happiness" messages or pen wishes on colorful sky lanterns, with shop owners guiding the lantern release and assisting with photos. Releasing a sky lantern to make a wish while soaking in the town's nostalgic charm makes this a beloved destination for international travelers!
