YehLiu ~ Located at Wanli of Taipei county, it is a long cape formed by Datun Mountain reaching into the sea. As the rock layer of nearby seashore contains limestone subject to sea erosion, weathering and earth movements, this place is full of seawater-eroded holes as well as numerous rocks in fantastic shape like mushroom, beehive, candles and etc. All these make this 1,700-meter long cape a geologe park with rich ecological resources and a prosperous fishing village.

Above: Honeycomb rock ~ Mushroom shaped crage which surface is filled with sea-eroded holes of different sizes. The Weathering Window, the Maling Bird, and the 24 Filial Piety Stories are the best-known among them.

Below: Mushroom rocks have attracted the attention of most tourists visiting YehLiu (and, I'm one of them). Originally, these rocks had gone through sea erosion and as time went by, the hard cores came out to have experienced the impact of wind, sun, rain, sea-wave and strong North-Eastern Monsoon. Today, these rocks demonstrate an eroding process - from no-neck, broad-neck, to narrow-neck ones.

Below: There are about 180 rocks in the shape of mushroom as a show window of their eroding process. Touring this area makes you feel like walking in a wonderland!
(Important: YehLiu area are still in lively, dynamic evolution. Therefore, be sure not to touch or even damage any of these creations of Nature!!!)
