Yehliu Geopark – Yehliu topped the voting list of top 10 landscapes in Taiwan conducted by Taiwanese Government in 2015. The Yehliu Geopark is divided into 3 areas, The first one is the terrain area, consisting mainly of Mushroom Rocks and Candlestick Rocks. The rocks in the second area are similar to the first one, but just in smaller quantity, and the Queen’s Head Rock in the second area is the most popular. The third area is the abrasion platform which is also an Ecological Conservation Zone. You will also enjoy the surrounding beautiful scenery and coastline either.

Jiufen – Generally speaking, Jiufen, Jinguashi and Shuei-Jin Jiou. Jiufen is a little higher than Jinguashi above sea level. The two communities were both initially gold-mining towns. They came to the verge of getting abandoned due to mining coming to a halt. Though there is no more gold mining, the place draws the crowds of tourists bringing money into this town. Jiufen Old street, when walk toward the old street from Geding Parking lot. You will get to check out the famously beautiful mountain and sea scenery. With shops on both sides, Jiufen Old street is very confined. Even the sky seems very narrow when looking above. There are plenty of choices with many delicious Taiwanese snacks here.

Jinguashi and Yinyang Sea – When heading north on Coastal Highway 2, Shueinandong is right before the border between Northeast Coast and North Coast Scenic Areas. You will see a castle-like dark gray building by the highway. This is the defunct Li-yue Copper Refinery owned by Taiwan Metal Mining Corp almost covering the entire mountain wall. Due to its 13-story height, the locals call it the Thirteen Stories, the abandoned factory used to refine ore taken from Jinguashi Gold Mine. We will drive by here, you can check out two different shades of the sea. This is the origin of the name Yin Yang Sea. Yin-yang in Chinese means “dark and bright”. Contamination from copper refining used to be thought to have caused the two shades of the sea. It’s known for certain now that the iron sulfide flowing along the stream and into the sea is the cause.

Pingxi Old Street – The old street has the second largest old street in Pingxi, and is full of delicious food, souvenirs, and opportunities to light off sky lanterns. From Pingxi station you can walk down to the historic streets in the small town, and take selfies with the train tracks and bridges that cross the two rivers passing through the town. It is definitely a must see stop along the Pingxi Railway. Pingxi Sky Lantern, the practice of lighting off sky lanterns in Taiwan began in Shifen, when during the Qing Dynasty local villagers would flee into the mountains during raids from bandits. Once the bandits had left, the remaining villagers sent sky lanterns into the air to let the fleeing villagers know that it was safe to comedown from the mountains. The people of Shifen send off sky lanterns as a symbol of peace, and celebrate every year during Lantern Festival, a Chinese holiday. Now you can see tourist lighting off sky lanterns everyday from Shifen or along the Pingxi Railway.
