Yeliu Geopark, Taipeh

This is a scenic area along the coast north of Taipeh.  It is also a very popular tourist spot.

As we entered the small coastal town, we saw many shops selling live crustaceans, fish, prawns, etc.

 Before entering the geopark, it is the norm for tourists to have a seafood lunch.

The food that we were served was fresh and tasty and the portions were big.

After a hearty lunch we made our way to the geopark. There were three main areas which were well spread out. As time did not permit us to visit all the areas, we confined ourselves to the closest one.
There were interesting rock formations that resembled mushrooms.

Signboards provided information about the plants in the area as well, although we did not actually see them as we were unable to explore more than the nearest area.

Besides it was a very hot and humid day.  After such a heavy lunch, no one felt up to walking in the heat.
