Yehliu Geopark

Yehliu Geopark is a cape of eroded rock on Taiwan’s north coast, in Wanli District, New Taipei City. A ticket costs NT$120, or NT$60 for a concession, and the park is open 08:00-17:00, or 08:00-18:00 in summer, with the last entry at closing (Yehliu Geopark’s own site, 14 November 2026). On a day trip from Taipei the ticket can be in the price: MyProGuide Inc.’s Shifen, Jiufen, and Yehliu Guided Day Trip includes it and gives the park 70 minutes, at US$45.00 per adult (checked November 2026).

Yehliu Geopark tickets

The park’s own ticket table (14 November 2026), in New Taiwan dollars:

The park adds that holders of an international student card (ISIC) no longer count toward the group discount, and that e-tickets bought on its online ticket page are scanned at the gate with no need to swap them for paper.

On MyProGuide Inc.’s day trip the ticket to Yehliu Geopark is included, in the shared tour and in the private options.

Opening hours

The site does not say which months count as summer. Its questions page says the park is open every day of the year and closes early on Lunar New Year’s Eve (14 November 2026).

The park also sets out when it closes. It shuts when the New Taipei City Government suspends work or school for a natural disaster, when a disaster response commander restricts the area, and wholly or in part whenever its managers judge visitors’ safety to be at risk. The day trip’s listing covers the same case from the other side: if Yehliu Geopark is closed for bad weather or a typhoon, or the itinerary changes critically, you can have a full refund or reschedule.

The three zones, and how long each takes

The park divides the cape into three zones. Zones one and two are the ones it calls must-sees, with the Queen’s Head, the Candle Rock and the Fairy’s Shoe, and it puts them at about an hour. Zone three is a trail over the cape’s ridge, with plenty of plant life, at about an hour and a half (Yehliu Geopark, 14 November 2026).

The tours set the clock. MyProGuide Inc.’s day trip, Edison Tours’ small-group day and MyProGuide Inc.’s day with the Golden Waterfall each give Yehliu 70 minutes, which covers the first two zones. ORinn Travel and Tours’ option with Yehliu Geopark gives it 1.5 hours.

Several reviewers of the day trip wanted longer. “The only suggestion I would make is that the time spent at Jiufen could be shortened so we would have enough time to spend in the Geopark,” a five-star review read on 31 October 2026; another the same day found Yehliu “as a last stop around 4 pm was perfect” in the evening light, and warned, “Especially for the geopark, you need to look at the time!”

The park’s rules

The park prints its rules on the same page as its prices (14 November 2026). The ones a day visitor meets:

• Do not cross the guardrails. Under Taiwan’s Act for the Development of Tourism, climbing on or damaging the natural geology can bring a fine of up to NT$500,000, and crossing the safety line or taking stones, shells or fossils a fine of NT$5,000 to NT$1,000,000, as the park prints them.
• The whole park is non-smoking, with fines of NT$2,000 to NT$10,000, and it is a no-fly zone for drones.
• No bicycles or scooters, and no playing in the water.
• Do not chase or lure the wild birds, for example with thrown stones, recorded calls or bait. Pets stay on a lead.

On site

The park lists three toilets: at the ticket office, on the ground floor of the visitor centre and at the Queen’s bookshop in zone two. The visitor centre stores luggage free from 8:00 to 16:00, in lockers 45 cm on each side, and lends wheelchairs and pushchairs for children up to 8 kg against an ID. Its café serves vegetarian instant noodles; there is no currency exchange, and the park points you to a nearby 7-Eleven cash machine (Yehliu Geopark, 14 November 2026).

Getting there on your own

The park is at No. 167-1, Gangdong Road, Yeliu Village, Wanli District, New Taipei City; Yehliu is also spelled Yeliu. Its questions page lists the 1815 Kuo-Kuang, 953 and 1068 buses back to Taipei Main Station, the 790 and 862 to Keelung, and the 788 from Keelung to Jiufen. Going on your own suits a long morning at the park alone; for Yehliu, Shifen and Jiufen in one day, the day trip does the driving and includes the ticket. Shifen Waterfall is the day’s inland stop.
