Yehliu

 

Yehliu feels like walking on a drained ocean. It's a really cool experience. Even though this place tends to be overrun with tourists of the worst kind, I still recommend coming here.

There's a small fishing village outside the geopark. You're likely to run into some workers from other Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, or the Philippines if you hang out near the boats.  If given a chance, ask about their lives.  They basically live on the boats or in shipping containers nearby. More people need to be aware of their living conditions and treatment in Taiwan.

WANLI DISTRICT —I really like this place because of all the opportunities to play with perspective. It's a good spot for any kind of photography. Obviously the landscape is cool. Portraits would work well here. And there's endless content for candid street shots among the tourists.

Another real cool spot nearby is called Lover's Lake Park which you can reach easily by scooter.  Or you can take a bus to Keelung to check out Keelung Night Market and Baoduozi Coastal Park.
