Tour at Yehliu Geopark

Day 2
Nov 30, 2014
Taipei

On our second day at Taipei, we went to Yehliu Geopark - a 1700 meter-long cape of rock formations in the shapes of mushrooms, sea candles, a fairy shoe, and a queen's head, which actually commands quite a long queue for a picture-taking.








For lunch, we ate at one of the seafood restaurants found across the park.


It was already late in the afternoon when we got back to the city and it was time to visit Taipei 101, once the world's tallest structure at 508 meters.


Going up the observatory floors was quite costly at 500 TWD but they do offer quite a few attractions. There are multimedia gallery featuring different trivia about the structure, souvenir shop, art boutique, and one particular highlight - the world's largest and heaviest wind damper - the only one in the world that is displayed for public viewing. That was quite amazing - for something that was worth more than 100M TWD, it better be.
