    Yehliu Geopark

    The rock landscape of Yehliu Geopark is one of most famous wonders in the world. The costal line is stretching in a direction vertical to the layer and the structure line; besides, the influences caused by wave attack, rock weathering, earth movement and crustal movement all contribute to the formation of such a rare and stunning geological landscape.

     

    Jiufen

    It has been pervaded by nostalgia for centuries. It is held dearly by locals, and has a very different meaning to each and every one, depending on age and culture. The idle, but cultural atmosphere attracts many youngsters here reflecting to find an inner peace in mind, or to write some articles over a cup of coffee or tea as the air here is so calming and soothing, it can even put an angry lion at ease. For tourists, this foggy town is also magical, because other than the Taiwanese old movie, Jiufen also sparked the inspiration of Miyazaki Shun‘s blockbuster ”Spirited Away”. However, thanks to its magnificent scenery and the cultural flavor it boasts, Jiufen has flourished again, now in tourist industry.

    Now, Jiufen has become one of the most popular tourist spots in Taiwan.
