Yehliu 野柳 is a cape located in the north of Taiwan in a town called Wanli, not far from Taipei.
I just happened to hear about this place from a Chinese colleague when we were waiting for a bus in Taipei. It woke my curiosity. After searching info about this place, we decided to make a day trip.
We took a Kuo Kang Bus No 1815 (around 190NTD/pers for a round trip) from Taiwan West Bus Station, which is near the Taipei Main Station to go to Yehliu. It took a little more than 1h and we got off where others got off, because we didn't really know which bus station that was the right one. From the bus station, we needed to walk a few hundred meters along a harbor before reaching the park. Next to the park is the Marine World Center with a dolphin show, but we didn't have time to go in there.
This park is divided into three sections and is around 1.7km long. A small fee of 80NTD/pers is needed to enter the park.
A lot of rocks with strange shapes, caused by Mother Nature, made this place a true visitor spot.
Some look like mushrooms, ice cream or candles. Some others are called Prince's Head or Cute Princess. Some look like a gorilla or a pineapple. The best known rock is the Queen's Head though, which people line up to take a photo with.

The famous Queen's Head.
We went there in the end of July so it was freaking hot that day. Since this is an outdoor activity without any shelter, make sure to bring an umbrella and apply lots of sun protection!
This is a must-do day trip so don't miss it when you are in Taiwan!
