A cape in Wanli, near Taipei, famous for its hoodoo stones, thin spires of rock formed by sedimentary stone. Many rock formations have creative names, including the most well-known “The Queen's Head.”
You will feel like you have just landed in an alien planet with its landscape of quirky and eccentric-shaped rock formations with equally eccentric names such as Queen’s Head and Cute Princess. Shaped by the awesome forces of nature (wind and waves), this place is so unique that you will be utterly moonstruck. At a reasonably-priced entrance fees of NTD 80, you are free to roam freely within this geopark as long as you observe 2 rules - do not touch any rock formations or venture beyond the red lines drawn on the ground. This attraction can easily be packaged as a day tour together with Shifen and Jiufen.

Cueifong Lake is situated between Taipingshan and Tayuan Mountain at elevation 1,840 m. Its largest area can reach 25 hectares in rain season and Cueifong Lake is also the largest high mountain lake in Taiwan. Cueifong Lake Circular Trail is built on the old tracks of forest railway and is about 40-minute drive from Taipingshan Villa. The entrance of the trail is at 15.5 k of Cueifong Scenic Road. The trail starts from the slope on the west side of Cueifong Lake, then circumvents north of the lake and intersects the Pingyuan Nature Trail on the east of lake, just like two arms embracing a sapphire. The total length of Cueifong Lake Circular Trail is 3.95 km and the elevations are between 1,900-2,000 m. Visitors can appreciate the different views of Cueifong Lake in four seasons. Since this trail is deserted most of the time and the surface of trail are well protected by ground cover plants, mosses and forest floor, it still keeps the original outlook of tens of thousands years ago.

While most people come here to feed the fishes and there were many fishes of varying sizes, what we enjoyed most was exploring the intertidal zone to observe different sea creatures, we spotted hermit crabs, sea cucumbers and different species of fishes. Wear shorts and slippers which will allow you to wade into the water.

Free foot hot spring: At small pavilions situated about 5 minutes walk from Lengshuikeng visitors' centre. Pretty crowded since not many seats available. Informative visitors' centre: Find out the entire topography of the Yangmingshan Mountain National Park by viewing the scaled version at the visitors' centre here. Also, learn more about the rock formations, the past industrial uses of the fumaroles or hot springs, ecological info of the park. Interesting for nerdy us. Hike to Qingtiangang Grasslands: Clear information of the trail outside the centre. 1.6km but with many steep steps so it takes an average of one hour to complete. Easy-to-follow trail with many clear distance-markers and arrows pointing to you which direction/path to take. Pass by Jingshan suspension bridge: On this trail, you'll pass by this suspension bridge and be able to take interesting shots from. Others: Apparently also walkable to the Juansi waterfalls towards the foot of the mountain but that's too far of a walk for us.
