#4. Yarue in Taiwan

Yarue is a port town near Taipei in Taiwan. Taiwan is mostly like Seoul, but the geological park in Yarue is entirely unique from the world. In the Yarue geological park, there are so many rocks which were eroded by the force of nature (wind and wave). Among those rocks, especially there is Queen Rock that resembles the profile of Egyptian queen, Nefertiti. However, you can see her profile on the designated position. When you are in there, you would feel that you are not in the earth. Do you know TV drama program, On Air? Some scene of it was taken in there. The main actor, Park Yong-ha, said “this is like Planet of the Apes (movie directed by Tim Burton)”. I’m sure it’s an exact expression. You couldn’t think there is some place like Yarue in the world before you see it. Each rock might look same, but every rock is different. They are formed by nature, not by artificial force. It’s amazing place of nature. However, it’s very hot. Taiwan is hotter than Korea, but Yarue is hotter than other places in Taiwan, although it’s a port town. You might feel you were in hot spring zone. So, if you want to go there, I recommend you to go in the winter.
