Yehliau Geopark , Nature like atmosphere on Mars

Yehliau GeoparkTaiwan may not have such beautiful beaches and mountains in Indonesia. Taiwan is just a land in the form of a large archipelago on the edge of the Pacific Ocean. Taiwan was formed with its minimalism, but they were able to develop their minimalism into something special. We can not compare Indonesia to Taiwan in terms of the richness of its natural beauty. But we can see how Taiwan can handle the minimalist nature that has become a popular tourist destination.

The Yehliau Geopark is a limestone region that forms a group and unique forms such as mushrooms, queen heads, candles, sandals, etc. This limestone is caused by the erosion of the fast Pacific Ocean. In addition, this group is also formed by the movement of the earth plate, on which the island Formosa has entered into the circle of fire. Yehliu herself was originally from the Pinpu language, the native language of the "indigenous" Taiwan tribe. In addition, this term also comes from Spanish Point Devils, which means Tanjung Setan. Behind the name hides a story, why the place is called Yehliu. In ancient times, the locals were fishermen who lived in the sea, maybe Indonesia would be like a bayo. They receive rice from the inhabitants of the island. The peculiarity of the rice harvest is the use of bamboo strips, which were punched at the end. The traders call this process "rice stolen from foreign tribes," and the Taiwanese-speaking foreign tribes are called "yeh." "And the one who is being stolen is called" Liu. "This is the origin of naming this area.To get to the Yehliu area, we can use the bus from the East Bus Terminal (Taiwan main station), find one Bus to Keelung, we can use an Easy Card or a student card that is integrated into the bus ticket, the charge is about 30 NTD (if we go to 12000 IDR in rupees) we charge 50 NTD for our entrance fee Do not worry, even if it is very far, we can appreciate it on the way there are rocky hills and shady trees, so you do not feel the distance before you enter this area Indonesians working as team members Incidentally, when we were there, we were greeted by several migrant workers leaning against the harbor They recognize us by the hijab of my colleague and our conversations that actually use Indonesian. This area is special because it is equipped with a model for the rear tracking slot. Everywhere different limestones with unique shapes are presented. In addition, at the end of the follow-up, you have direct access to a direct view of the windy Pacific wind. For information, the climate changes very fast here. Well, it's good to go everywhere, we bring raincoats and umbrellas.

Kompassstein There is an interesting place that caught my attention, the statue of a fisherman. Based on the history of the surrounding community, it was stated that this statue was built out of respect by one of the fishermen who rescued a child who had been dragged into the creek in the Yehliu area. The fisherman died while helping the child. In addition, there is also a place in this area to designate an address that more or less resembles a compass. Perhaps this is a reference for foreign fishermen bowing, or just a guide for foreigners who have visited the region for the first time. Outside the region, like the usual tourist attractions in Taiwan, they offer a typical Taiwanese sandwich place. But for Muslim tourists you have to be careful if you want to buy food here, because with pork and wine is much prepared. But if we are careful, we can find edible food (Halal). And here are some pictures from Yehliu Geopark. I wish you a nice visit
