Thousand-layer Bed: The tofu rock formations here were formed by years of seawater erosion, turning the rocks into square-shaped slabs. From afar, they resemble layers of terraced fields scattered across the landscape, creating a spectacular sight.
Fanzi Cave: Located near the Thousand-layer Bed, Fanzi Cave is over 20 meters long. Legend has it that it served as the last stronghold of the Dutch when they were driven out by Zheng Chenggong (Koxinga). Ancient Dutch inscriptions can still be found on the cave walls, making it one of Keelung’s historical landmarks.
Ten Thousand People’s Pile: Situated along the rocky shoreline at the northern tip of Heping Island, this area features numerous uniquely shaped rocks formed through years of sea erosion and weathering. They resemble bathtubs, flower petals, dressing tables, and even human heads scattered around, hence the name “Ten Thousand People’s Pile,” offering an extraordinary landscape.
Although constantly exposed to sea winds, Heping Island boasts abundant algae (such as nori, hair seaweed, deer horn seaweed, wakame, duckweed, stone weed, and red algae)
as well as diverse marine resources. Fish such as hairtail, elephant fish, mackerel, yellow chicken, lobsters, and others visit the waters around the island seasonally, making it a popular spot for fishing enthusiasts.
Additionally, Heping Island Coastal Park offers amenities such as camping areas, barbecue zones, boat rentals, and pedal go-karts, adding more fun to your island experience.
