Fancy traveling to another world? You can do that with a visit to Yehliu Geopark, a fascinating assembly of natural rock sculptures that bear uncanny resemblance to all manner of things: oversized mushrooms, different animals, bee hives, even the head of a queen. It’s said the park’s most distinctive sculpture resembles the head of ancient Egypt’s Queen Nefertiti, and in deference to her and the naturally formed sculpture, the park’s logo carries this motif. You may not find royalty here, but you will find beauty fit for holiday makers who appreciate interesting landscapes that can’t be found anywhere else in the world. Weathering of the rock and sculptures continues to occur naturally, so visitors are kept at a distance. Regardless, the island perspective, ocean views, and the extraordinary geography combine to create the perfect scene for a beautiful travel memory or two.
