Yeliu scenic spot

It's really beautiful~

Yeliu scenic spot

Yeliu scenic spot is located in the fund road about 15 kilometers northwest of Keelung City, Taiwan Province. It is a promontory (Tatun mountain system) protruding from the sea. From afar, it looks like a turtle staggering off the shore, head up and back up, so it is also called Yeliu turtle. Under the influence of orogeny, the sedimentary rocks buried deep in the sea rose to the sea surface, resulting in the topography of the nearby coast, such as single side hill, sea erosion cliff and sea erosion cave. Sea erosion and wind erosion acted on the rocks with different hardness, forming the world-class rock landscape, such as honeycomb rock, tofu rock, mushroom rock, ginger rock and weathering window.

Yeliu is located in Yeliu village, Wanli Township, Taipei County. It is a headland stretching into the sea, about 1700 meters long, so it is called Yeliu headland, Yeliu nose or Yeliu peninsula. Because of its switch, it looks like a pair of sea turtles from afar, staggering off the shore, bowing up to swim, so it is also known as the wild willow turtle. Under the influence of orogeny, the sedimentary rocks buried deep in the sea rose to the sea surface, resulting in the topography of the nearby coast, such as single side mountains, sea erosion cliffs, sea erosion caves, etc. sea erosion and wind erosion acted on different rock formations, forming world-class rock landscapes such as honeycomb rock, tofu rock, mushroom rock, ginger rock, weathering window, etc., creating a variety of magnificent scenes. It is one of the 12 famous scenic spots in Taiwan one of. The windward side of yeliujiao is steep cliffs, but the leeward side is lush, planted with Canna, Agave, hibiscus and other coastal plants. Walking in the path through the forest, there is a special mood. When the tide goes down, many colorful shells and sea urchins are left on the shore. Walking, catching up with the sea and enjoying the strange rocks are the three great pleasures of yeliujiao tourism.

Main attractions

Yeliu is a promontory protruding from the sea, about 1700 meters long. Due to wave erosion, rock weathering and crustal movement, it has created a variety of peculiar landscapes, such as sea erosion gullies, candle shaped stones, mushroom shaped rocks, beancurd stones, honeycomb stones, potholes, dissolution plates and so on.

The Queen's head, fairy shoes, Candlestick stone, etc. are even more famous at home and abroad.

The statue of Lin Tianzhen in the area commemorates his heroic spirit of sacrificing his life to save others. A touching story is detailed on the monument.

Yeliucun's ocean world is Taiwan's first marine animal show hall. It has lively dolphin, sea lion and other animal performances, high-altitude diving and water ballet, and the 100 meter long "undersea tunnel" to enjoy all kinds of rare fish. (provided by Yeliu Ocean World) Candlestick's "candle fire" is actually a hard spherical nodule in the rock layer. Because it is more resistant to sea erosion, the cone-shaped top is exposed. The sea water flows back and surges along its edge, creating a circular groove. Because there is a hard ring around the nodule, the sea water erodes and cuts down along this ring, forming a cone-shaped shape.

The scenery is divided into three areas: the first area is Queen's head, fairy shoes, milk stone, etc., the second area is tofu rock, dragon's head stone, etc., and the third area is sea erosion pot hole, seal stone, etc., which is suitable for field investigation course of geological teaching.

The statue of Lin Tianzhen commemorates his heroic deeds of sacrificing his life to save others. Yeliu scenic area belongs to the north coast and Guanyin Mountain scenic area. It has the obligation to provide commentators and free interpretation services for tourists.

As you enter the Yeliu scenic spot, you can enjoy the unique geological landscapes along the footpath, such as the Queen's head mushroom rock, fairy shoes, elephant stone, and Maling bird stone. The white Yeliu lighthouse is at the tip of the headland. Looking forward to the sea and sky, it is most relaxing and pleasant. In addition to the geological landscape, Yeliu is also a post station for many migratory birds to rest and is the eye of bird watchers The treasure house in China. Yeliu is about 1600 meters long and only 250 meters wide. It is rich in marine erosion topography. More than 20 million years ago, Taiwan was still in the sea. The sediment washed down from Fujian accumulated layers of sandstone. The orogeny 6 million years ago pushed the rock out of the sea, resulting in the formation of Taiwan Island. Yeliu is a part of it.

During the orogenic compression, two faults were pushed out on both sides of Yeliu. The fault zone was broken and easy to be eroded, so the two sides were concave into a bay and the middle protruded to form a promontory.

Next, under the erosion of waves, rain and wind and the constant uplift of the crust, the strange rocks and rocks in Yeliu are formed.

Yeliu ocean world, located on the right side of the entrance of the scenic spot, is the only dolphin and Sea Lion Performance Hall in Taiwan, which can accommodate 3500 people. The performance focuses on more than 20 actions of dolphins. Children also have the opportunity to get close to dolphins and sea lions. The performance is also interspersed with high altitude fancy diving and bungee jumping performances from abroad.

Another theme of the park is the 400 meter long undersea tunnel. When you walk into the tunnel, thousands of different kinds of fish shuttle around. It's very interesting.

On the right side of ocean world, there is a small platform called "Tianwaitian". Walking along the fishing village path for 10 minutes, you can climb up the stone steps to the top of the mountain platform composed of rocks. You can have a panoramic view of the beautiful wild willows.
