      Yehliu Geopark

      November 25, 2023 in Taiwan ⋅ 🌬 20 °C

      Geschrieben von Maike

      Heute haben wir einen Ausflug zum Yehliu Geopark gemacht, einem Nationalpark mit beeindruckenden Steinformationen an der Nordküste. Diese schmale Halbinsel ragt etwa 1.7 km in das Meer hinein und wird von gigantischen Wellen umgeben. Das Beeindruckende an dem Geopark ist, dass er viele, rund geschliffene und zum Teil fein gemusterte Felsen und Steinsblöcke beherbergt, die über die Jahre von Wasser und Wind geformt wurden. Da einige dieser Felsformationen wie Pilze aussehen, werden sie auch "Mushroom-Rocks" genannt. Das Wahrzeichen des Yehliu Geoparks ist eine Felsformation, die aussieht wie der Kopf einer Königin, weswegen sie "Queen's Head" genannt wird - allerdings sieht sie mittlerweile durch die voranschreitenden Witterungsprozesse nicht mehr ganz danach aus.

      Today, we visited Yehliu Geopark which is a national park with impressive rock formations on the north coast. This narrow peninsula stretches 1.7 kilometres into the sea and is surrounded by gigantic waves. The impressive part about the geopark is that it is home to many round and finely patterned rock formations that have been shaped by water and wind over the years. As some of these rock formations look like mushrooms, they are also called "mushroom rocks". The landmark of the Yehliu Geopark is a rock formation that looks like the head of a queen, which is why it is called "Queen's Head" - although it no longer looks quite like one due to the ongoing weathering processes.

      Yeliu Geopark (野柳地質公園)

      March 27, 2019 in Taiwan ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

      Yeliu (Yehliu) is a “geopark” just northeast of Taipei known for its naturally eroded rock formations that resemble real-life objects, in particular the Queen's Head and Fairy Shoe. We snapped the classic shot of the Queen (even managed to crop out all the riff raff!) - there are footprints painted on the path to indicate where both the photographer and subjects should stand for optimal framing. When it came to the Shoe, we snuck up and nabbed one of the kids quasi “in” the shoe, just before security got there to remind us not to climb on the rocks. After that we all had fun challenging each other to find funky rocks until the sun started to set and Uncle Gu declared it to be absolutely too treacherous to continue exploring.Read more
