Day 2 Honeymoon @ Yehliu

I'm suppose to blog about it back last year, but hmmm... well anyway, just want to continue it for now.
Okay, our Day 2 started off with a nice breakfast in the hotel. ( if you are wondering which hotel I'm staying, click here for my earlier blog.) Breakfast need to be well taken, as today we had a long journey to go.

While our gathering time is still early, once we complete our breeky, its time for photo shooting session.
Trying to advertise the water??

Rainy day... Hope the trip will still be fun

Couple in Black
If you are wondering is taiwan cold in November... I should say yes... quite it is rather wet and windy which make you freeze.
One thing good about my tour group is everyone is super duper punctual, we always set off on time. It took us about 1hour journey, before we came to our first destination, Yehliu Geopark (野柳)
Yehliu is a unique place because the rock layers near the seashore contain  limestone, which are subject to sea erosion, weathering and earth movements, thus making wild-looking sculptures, leaving us to imagine.

Cover in raincoat due to rain and super windy

We really look like cartoon.
Despite having umbrella, we still need to get raincoat to protect us. Area inside is super windy, for those light weight people, you better tie yourself to friend otherwise will be blown off. What I heard from the people there, the day that we visit is not the worst, it can get even more windy. Wow, I really cant imagine it as rain + wind is making me hard to stand in the open.
A small view of it.

Gigantic waves coming
               
Rocky Mushroom heads
The Queen Head Rock
One of the famous rock formation is the Queen's Head Rock. However as over the years, due to sea and wind erosion, the neck area is getting thinner and soon will snap off.

As such, they had man made a smaller one to keep it. Does it look like one above??
Photo took with the Man made one
Beside the rock formation, things that attract me in the park are these cute like angel like doll.

Do you think it look like Little Twins Star ??

 Well, I'm amazed by this park. It is really full of education. In Taiwan, almost every high school students will come to this place for outdoor education. It is a place where you are able to learn alot on how all this mushroom rocks form, why is there swirl lines on the ground, etc.

I wish I can be a student there too, to improve my general knowledge.

Well, this place is really a good place to bring family to come view together... nice scenic view and kids able to get well educate too.

Okay, as tour had limited time, we shall stop here and move to the next stop call Chiu Fen ( Jiu Fen).
It is a place full of history and nice foodies.... shall blog again next round on it.

Got to sleep now. Nite Nite.
