Yehliu Park 
"Yeliou Turtle" is the other name of this 1,700 meter long cape, the reason for this name is that when overlooked from above, the place looks like a giant turtle submerging into the sea. The combination of the wind and waves sculpted the rock over the years, you will find Rocks that looks like Queen's Head, Fairy's Shoe and Candle in one part of the this place. On another part of the scenery, you'll have the chance to see rocks looking like Dragon Head. A statue of Lin Tien Jane reminds the story of his sacrifice to save other's people lives.

Chiufen Village (A historical town)
Located in northeast of Taiwan, Jioufen village is next to the mountain and faces the sea with a beautiful ocean scenery of Keelung outer sea. Jioufen used to be an important place for gold mining. It is said that there were only nine families living in Jioufen, but in 1890 when someone found gold nearby, the poor village suddenly attracted more than 4,000 families. Gold city of Asia, Jioufen was also called little Shanghai or even little Hong Kong. But the village lost its importance with the decline of the gold mining activity. Jioufen Old Street is now one of the busiest streets in Jioufen, and the past of the city attracts many tourists every year. There are many unique teahouses in the street that cannot be missed when going over there. The street goes through most of the village; you can also find shops selling the most famous country snack of Geo Fan, yam dish and other local dishes.
