here are many scenic spots around northeastern Taiwan.
TThe northern coast is famous for its landscapes and
provides an excellent outdoor classroom for school teaching.
The abundant geographical resources of the northeast
東北角地質公園之地形 coast offer surprises at each and every corner. In a way, the
northeast coast is in fact a miniature projection of Taiwan,
as it developed from an area of sunken land on the coast of
Landform of the South China that was then pushed up from the seas into a

mountainous island. This was a period of great changes, a
Northeast Geopark time of fierce evolution that has carved itself into Longdong
Cape's ancient and adamant sandstone walls, and recorded
itself into Bitou Cape's sediment beds.

The Cape of San Diego forms one border of the
coastline landform. To the north of San Diego is a typical
ria landform, where rock formations have been sculpted
through erosion, abrasion, weathering, displacement, and
other natural forces, forming mushroom-shaped mushroom
rock, tofu-like chessboard rock, hive-like honeycomb rock…
