Yeliu geological park

Today me and Yini finally made it to Yeliu after last weeks interruption by the typhoon. It was a beautiful day for exploring an ocean side park albeit a bit hot. The sky was clear and the water a bright turquoise blue. The only problem was the tourists, I do admit to being one myself but, in a very Taiwanese way the whole place hade been fixed up to suit tourists, mainly form mainland china. The walkways were absolutely full of them and it felt kind of crowded.

There were even some guards blowing whistles when you touched a rock or went past some arbitrary “safety” line. Although there were many nice rock formations the feeling was kind of spoiled by the crowd. At the most famous rock, on that resembles the head of a queen there was a long queue for taking photos so I didn’t bother with that.

When we got further out on the small peninsula however, it was almost tourist free and very nice. The rock formations out there were less spectacular but still beautiful. The view of north east Taiwan was also nice. In general it was a nice day but Ye liu would be better with less tourists.
