"Scenic spot for a getaway. There's a short trail you can walk on to view the surrounding beauty of the island. There's lush greenery, deep blue seas and the sandy rock formation.
There's also a natural seawater area for adults and kids, if you feel like going for a swim.
Good place for a day trip."

"Entry was TWD 140, the weather was extremely poor when visiting the geopark. Only stayed around 10 minutes. This would be beautiful in the summer months for sure."
