YehLiu Geopark

Queen's Head
The most famous rock formation is the iconic “Queen’s Head”, a mushroom rock that resembles the profile of England’s Queen Elizabeth. Every year, the “Yehliu Night Tour” features light shows, water projection, etc, attracting over ten thousands visitors flock to see the Queen’s Head illumined at night. Besides the Queen’s Head, other remarkable formations such as the Sea Candles, the Fairy Shoe, the Ginger Rocks, the Elephant Rock, the Ice Cream Rock, the Kissing Rock, and the Princess’ Head, are worth taking a look at.

A must-do tour while in Taipei

5.00This was an absolutely wonderful tour and one of the highlights of my time in Taiwan. The incredible Yehliu Geopark amazed us with its unique rock formations, while Jiufen Old Street captivated us with its colourful shops, market atmosphere, and spectacular ocean views. The lantern experience at Shifen Old Street was truly memorable, and Shifen Waterfall was absolutely stunning. Everything was well organised, and we had plenty of time to enjoy each destination. Be warned, there’s plenty of walking and a lot of steps in some areas. It’s worth it though! Bring an umbrella in case it rains or even as shelter for the heat. A special thank you to our tour guide, Jenny, who was efficient, friendly, and highly informative throughout the day. Our driver also did an excellent job, keeping everything running smoothly and on schedule. All in all, this was a fantastic tour that exceeded our expectations, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Taiwan.

5.00This tour was an excellent way to explore some of the most interesting sights outside of Taipei. Our guide was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to help through the day. She did an excellent job explaining the history and significance of each landmark. Her enthusiasm and local knowledge made the tour both informative and enjoyable. We had a great time and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to see more of Taiwan beyond Taipei.
Great time!
