Highlights
  • Yehliu Geopark - Because of the ocean water and wind erosion, there are much unique natural landscape attracting people to go here. The ocean water erosion makes the candle shaped rock. While the wave splashes it, you can see the power of nature. As for the wind erosion, never skip the Queen’s Head. Through the 30
    -year erosion, Queen’s Head becomes more and more slender. Remember to have a glimpse of it, or it may be vanished in the future because of erosion.

Amazing tour in the north coast of Taiwan - We had the opportunity to view beautiful landscape of the coast shaped by wind, rain and sea. We stopped in a beauty of a waterfall. On the way to the mountain. We had a really good lunch in Jiufen in a restaurant with a beautiful view of the valley and coast below the small town. In the cat village we also visited the small museum of the coal factory, really worth the time spent. Our driver and guide Ken was really really great and helpful and support us with our small baby. Reccomanded!!

Fabulous - Jim showed us some fantastic places. He had to contend with big crowds but we enjoyed ourselves. Had to ask to be taken back to ship after an exhausting 6 1/2 hours. Thanks

Great place - Houton cat village is a great place to take a rest. There are lots of cut and fat cat you can take lots of pictures. I’d like to go old streets when I am travelling in different countries. Jiufen is one of the most impressive place. Yehliu is also fascinating, the rocks are breathtaking. Last but not least, Miaokou night market is the best one I have visited in Taiwan, mouth watering food... it’ll forever in my memories!
