Other than that, we did not buy anything from the shops since nothing really caught our eyes.


Even so, we were happy to enjoy a brief chat with the owner before heading further into the park.


Further in, we walked down a wooden boardwalk among the trees leading to the beautiful and rocky coastline.


Despite being one of the major tourist attraction in Taitung, Xiaoyeliu actually receive much fewer visitors than Yeliu Geopark does in a day.  It was not crowded the day we visited, which was a very good thing because I never really like crowded places.


We descended a few stoned steps at the end of the boardwalk to the beautifully ragged coastline. However, the area around the coastline is unfortunately, not accessible by wheelchair or baby stroller. Thus, Xiaoyeliu is not suitable for young children or people with walking disabilities.


The unique landscape of Xiaoyeliu is a result of inverted sandstone and mudstone layers. After a geographical structure change, the gigantic sandstone shale became upside down and covered with coral reef. Due to powerful waves and years of sea erosion, this spectacular landscape is formed.


We walked down a large piece of rock,  leading to the rugged and treacherous coast, with spectacular rock formations.




Young children and people with mobility problems will find it extremely challenging and almost impossible to walk on the rocks. Even I have difficulties making my way across the treacherous landscape.

Thus, it will be best to equipped yourself with a good pair of walking shoes. I believe you certainly would not want to walk your way across with a pair of slippers, sandals or even heels.


We spent 30 minutes walking around, taking photographs and admiring the beauty of the unique landscape.


It was such a free feeling, with the strong and cooling ocean breeze blowing our hair in every direction.


On clear days, you might be able to catch a glimpse the Green Island 绿岛 - a small volcanic island in the Pacific Ocean about 33km off the eastern coast of Taiwan. Surrounded by coral reefs, the Green Island is a popular snorkeling and diving site in Taiwan.

Unfortunately, it was a little cloudy the day we visited. So we did not managed to see the Green Island at all.
