Herping Island Park (和平島公園) , Keelong- Taiwan
Looking out to sea at Herping Island Park
During the Valentines Day holiday trip R and I drove up to Keelong City 基隆市. I’ve always love visiting the seaside and experience the sea breeze blowing in my face.
The park sign- Herping Island Park
We drove from Shifen Waterfall Park to Keelong as it was on the way. The journey didn’t take too long and we manage to find the place following the GPS in the car.
The rock formations
The last time I saw unusual rock formations was in Jeju island where we saw the Jusangjeolli Cliffs. These formations were spread out over a bigger area as compared to those cliffs.
A rock formation looking like a turtle
This particular rock formation required some vivid imagination on the part of the viewer to see how “turtle” it looked like.
A pavilion we saw while following the trail
The pavilion made a good resting spot to sit and admire the scenery. We didn’t really spend much time there when we were there as I was more keen to view the whole area.
R and me
We only stopped long enough to snap some pictures and a wefie.
A man parasailing
While admiring the scenery we saw this parasailer moving near the rocks. He had a motor attached to the back of his set up and was able to control how high or low he flew. I would love to try parasailing one day but not sure if I will do solo like this parasailer.
Another view of the seaside
There were many unusual rock formations around and people ventured out onto the rock formation for a closer look. R and I however kept to the path as I didn’t want slip while being on the rock as the ground was rather wet.
Another shot of the same rock formation. This time with my HP.
Have you seen rock formations at the seaside lately?

Love your formations. I recently found out that they are called concretions here in New Zealand. They are so interesting to see and your imagination can tell some great stories about them.

Nice rock formations and I would love to stay in that Pavilion. So far, I’ve visited Kapurpurawan Rock Formations here in the Philippines.

The rock formation there was really great! I saw one rock formation in Bulacan and it was so nice!

I appreciate scenic views like this. I just want to IG them all day long. 🙂

The sea rock formations I’ve seen are from long, long time ago. The latest rock formations I’ve seen are from the desserts of Saudi Arabia about 3 years ago.

I haven’t been to Taiwan or to any place outside the country. I hope someday, I will be able to visit beautiful places like the pictures you have shared to us.
