Little Yehliu’s geology consists of sandstone, which is not a typical component of the Philippine Plate and is considered an exotic rock block. The walking path from the visitor center to the seaside is lined with striking coastal plants such as beach naupaka, screw pine, hibiscus tiliaceus, and date palms. The shoreline features a natural sculpture park densely packed with unusual rock formations.
Little Yehliu Visitor Center
Upon entering Little Yehliu Scenic Area, the first thing visitors see is a visitor center with a sloped roof design. Inside, the geological exhibition hall uses vivid geological models and rock specimens to introduce the area’s unique geological landscape and the formation and evolution of the Coastal Mountains.
Before visiting Little Yehliu, tourists can first head to the geological display room for detailed information, then walk out to the rocky shore to closely examine various oddly shaped rocks, such as tofu rock, honeycomb rock, and mushroom rock. On clear days, looking east from Little Yehliu, one can clearly see Green Island 32 kilometers away, as well as the ferries departing from Fugang Fishing Port bound for Green Island and Orchid Island.
