- YehLiu Geopark - Take a 30-min ride from the port. Yehliu Geopark, located in Wanli District, New Taipei City, is one of the top attractions on Taiwan’s northern coast. It features a variety of unique rock formations shaped by wind and sea, such as mushroom rocks, chessboard rock, and trace fossils.
The most renowned rock formation is the iconic “Queen’s Head,” a mushroom rock that resembles the profile of England’s Queen Elizabeth. Each year, the “Yehliu Night Tour” showcases light shows and water projections, drawing tens of thousands of visitors to see the Queen’s Head illuminated at night.
In addition to the Queen’s Head, other notable formations include the Sea Candles, the Fairy Shoe, the Ginger Rocks, the Elephant Rock, the Ice Cream Rock, the Kissing Rock, and the Princess’ Head.

Attractions include stunning rock formations, unique sea-eroded landforms, fine golden sand beaches, diverse marine life, and a rich cultural heritage. It serves as both a captivating natural classroom and an enchanting coastal playground.
- Chiufen (Jiufen Old Street) - The next stop on your day tour is Jiufen, a hillside village in Ruifang District, New Taipei City. The village thrived in the 1940s due to the gold mining industry but later fell into decline. Despite its past, this small village still has many stories to tell.
