Cape in New Taipei, Taiwan
About Yehliu Geopark
Yehliu, also referred to as Yehliu Promontory, is a cape, headland, and promontory in Wanli District, New Taipei, Taiwan. It forms part of the Daliao Miocene Formation and stretches approximately 1,700 metres (5,600 ft) into the ocean. It was formed six million years ago, after the collision of the Philippine Sea plate and Eurasian plate; tectonics then pushed the Datun Mountains out of the sea. Strong ocean waves crashed against the soft sedimentary rock and softer layers wore away faster than harder ones.
