Chaojing Park
#taiwan Chaojing Park is a rocky area along Taiwan's north coast in Keelung. It includes a seafood market, marine science museum, and a wide grassy area. There are also many interesting rock formations in the area. It is a popular location for its seafood, flying kites, hiking, and enjoying the ocean scenery
The sandstone and sedimentary that forms the Badouzi formations were created between 10 and 20 million years ago, and was pushed out of the sea along with northern Taiwan thousands of years ago.
The rock formations formed by easily eroding sandstone, by the sea and waves.
The area around Chaojing Park was a protected military base and garbage dunmp, after which civilians were allowed to freely visit.
Kite flying is also a popular activity at the park.
Price: Free
Hotels in Keelung:
I recommend Just Live Inn-Keelung and Yung Feng Hotel, which are two great quality hotels for a reasonable price in Keelung's City Center.
How to get there:
By Car/Scooter: Drive to Keelung, then from downtown take provincial highway 2 east about 10 KM until you reach the the turnoff to Chaojing Park, and there is some paid parking if you drive to the very end, which will put you closest to the park. There is paid parking in front of the park.
