Taiwan - Day 2 (Part 1) - Trip to Yang Ming Shan, Yeliu

Keykey got Meeky Yang, who was highly recommended on Tripadvisor, to bring them on  a taxi tour for their 2nd day in Taiwan. Meeky drives a Toyota Wish and the itinerary was: Yangminshan -- Yeliu -- Jiufen -- Jinguashi -- Golden waterfall -- Yinyanghai -- Nanya rock -- Bitou park -- Keelung night market

Streets in front of City Inn 1 hotel

Breakfast across the street

Yummy fried bun



Fried carrot cake which came in a pretty box

With full tummies, keykey finally set out on their tour! 

First stop - Yang Ming Shan



Signature attraction at YMS

YMW is more to see nature. Heard from Meeky that there are 2 routes around YMS, each offering different thing. We chose this 1 so as to see the  小油坑 (geyser).

Pretty flowers in bloom



Another place with many flowers! As we went during summer, not many flowers were in bloom


Quaint little shops selling flowers


Water boiling on the ground! Scared keykey who came running back to Big Key


We reached the geyser!



2nd stop - Yeliu

Attraction in the northeast with interesting rock formations. Nice place for keykey to learn about nature!

Sights within the park

Keykey with the formations






Keykey was so fascinated that they are all natural! Looks like a honeycomb

  4. Hi May,
    Thanks for dropping by!

    It might be better to check directly with Meeky about the rates? We went a few years ago, and the rates may have changed since then. His contact details are in the comment above ;)

    Have a great trip!
