Ye Liu national park


Another wonderful site worth a half-day trip if you are staying in Taipei. From Taipei city center, to Ye Liu takes about an hour of public bus ride. Once you get down at Ye Liu bus stop, you have to walk a little bit before reaching the site. But no worry, the route is very well marked. You will walk through a fishing village, which itself is quite a nice place. 

The entrance fee is much cheaper than I expected. The site is truly spectacular. Stones in various impossible shapes, stones that I previously thought only exist only in the barren lands of US. Probably due to different types of erosion or different composition of rocks, I have no idea, but with darker colour on the top and lighter colour on the rest, most of the eroded rocks look like mushroom to me. Plus all of them are taller than a human being, which makes them something that come out of Alice in Wonderland. In short, it is quite out of this world.
