It is a natural classroom for recreation and natural teaching in Northern Taiwan. Heping Island Park (Heping island coastal park) is full of strange rocks and rocks, and has unique sea erosion landscape on the coast, such as sea erosion platform, tofu rock, sea erosion ditch, sea erosion cliff and weathering window In addition, there are also many kinds of rocks, such as wanrendui, qiandiefu, haieroded cave, mushroom rock, shitouyan, xiongtouyan, etc.

Island of peace

Heping island is located in the northernmost part of Taiwan Island. It was originally an isolated island, and later built a bridge to connect with Keelung City. Due to the northeast monsoon, wave erosion and rain, the island has many weathered rocks and sea erosion topography, which has become a natural landscape of strange rocks and rocks. It is an excellent place for diving and sea fishing.

brief introduction

Heping island is located in the north of Keelung port, commonly known as Shiliao island. It is connected with Keelung because of the construction of Heping Bridge. The rocks on Heping island have been eroded by the northeast monsoon and waves for a long time, resulting in the unique topography of weathering and sea erosion, such as sea erosion platform, tofu rock, mushroom rock, thousand fold and so on. Fanzi cave is located beside qiandiefu, which is the last base for the Dutch to retreat from Taiwan. One of the eight scenes in Keelung, "Shiliao Yinlan" is looking into the rough sea from Fanzi cave.

The most famous and attractive landscapes in the coastal park are qiandiefu, fanzidong and wanrendui. Especially qiandiefu, also known as "tofu rock", is the most eye-catching. Due to the erosion of Sandstone on the platform by the sea tide over the years, it has formed square rocks, which seem to be thousands of tatami stacked horizontally. At present, the plank road has been laid for tourists to walk. Wanrendui, also known as the emperor's palace, is located at the northernmost end of Heping island. It is widely distributed and remains of sea water erosion. A large area of mushroom shaped rock looks like heads from a distance. It is very interesting. The Tibetan character cave is 20 meters long, with doors in front and back. There are fuzzy Dutch characters on the wall. It is the famous "Shiliao Yinlan" in the eight sceneries of Keelung, which is also the ancient cave of Keelung One of the tracks. The Zi cave is near qiandiefu, with a length of more than 20 meters.
