・Yehliu Geopark The distance from the entrance of Yehliu Geopark to the end of the cape is about 1.7 kilometers, and the widest part is less than 300 meters. As the direction of the coastline is nearly perpendicular to the direction of the strata and tectonic lines, coupled with the influence of geological processes such as wave erosion, rock weathering, relative movement of land and sea, and crustal movement, rare and rich topography and geological landscapes have been created. It is a natural geological classroom and a wonderland of strange rocks, with weathered rocks, wind erosion gullies, wind erosion cliffs, holes, and narrow capes. You can find surprising discoveries wherever you go.

Shifen Old Street Shifen in Pingxi District, New Taipei City, is the earliest developed and largest settlement. A railway branch line, the "Pingxi Line", built for coal mining, winds along the Keelung River Valley. After the baptism of the fleeting years of mining, it has connected several old streets with rich flavors, such as Shifen, Pingxi, and Jingtong. The main feature here is that the old street is connected to the railway track, so you can experience the novel feeling of "trains passing by" and the fun of walking along the railway track. It is also a well-known scenic spot for many movies and idol dramas.
Around Shifen Station are Shifen Old Street and Jing'an Suspension Bridge. Here you can walk along the shops beside the railway tracks while enjoying snacks. The most distinctive landscape here is not the old buildings, but the unique sight of the train passing by! In recent years, it has become a must-visit attraction for international tourists visiting Taiwan. When you come to Shifen, write your blessings and wishes on the sky lanterns with a brush, release the sky lanterns under the guidance of the store owner, and watch the sky lanterns rise slowly in the town. This is the most beautiful impression of Shifen.

・Shifen Waterfall Shifen Waterfall is located in Xinliao Village, Pingxi District, New Taipei City, between Dahua Station and Shifen Station on the railway branch line, in Shifen Scenic Area; Shifen originally means "ten parts", which means that ten families worked together to build their homes here; the actual geographical location of Shifen Scenic Area is on a tributary of the Keelung River. It belongs to the waterfall valley type among Taiwan's scenic areas. The Keelung River is the largest and longest river in the northern region. Due to the erosion of the source and the relationship between the nearby cutting terrain, many faults and strange rocks are formed. After the river water passes through these faults and strange rocks, the flow rate is fast, resulting in many waterfall wonders. From Houtong in the north to Sandiaoling, and then extending to Shifenliao and Pingxi, a series of waterfalls are formed, and Shifen Waterfall is the most famous waterfall attraction. Shifen Waterfall has a drop of about 20 meters and a width of about 40 meters. The outer layer of rock is in the opposite direction of the water flow, which is a reverse inclined waterfall. This situation is similar to the Niagara Falls in North America, which earned it the reputation of "Taiwan Niagara Falls". The pool below the waterfall is very deep, and the water vapor lingers all year round. Once the sun is refracted, a beautiful rainbow spans across it, so it is also known as the "Rainbow Abyss" and is a popular tourist spot. The huge rocks in the downstream are a unique landscape formed by the continuous collapse and retreat of the cliff face after being eroded by the water. The beauty of nature is fully displayed here.
