Enter the art palace of waves and time

If you enjoy nature's uncanny handicrafts, then Fugang Geopark is a must-see in Taitung. Located north of Taitung City, it's nicknamed "Little Yehliu" for its bizarre rock formations, echoing the geology of Yehliu on the north coast.

Entering Fugang Geopark is like stepping into a natural sculptured art gallery. Years of wave action and weathering have shaped a variety of geological wonders—tofu rocks, mushroom rocks, honeycomb rocks, tortoise shell rocks, potholes—each with its own unique texture and shape, begging for closer inspection.

📸 A Photography Lover's Paradise

This is not only a dream destination for geology enthusiasts, but also a paradise for photography enthusiasts. Stroll along the wooden boardwalk, enjoying the azure Pacific Ocean and capturing the magnificent coastline. In the morning, the golden sunlight casts a warm amber hue on the sea and rocks, while in the evening, you can capture romantic images of the pink-orange sky intertwined with the waves.

Many people particularly enjoy visiting during low tide, as the intertidal zone reveals more sea-eroded platforms and offers close-up views of starfish, hermit crabs, and various intertidal creatures, making it a perfect place for exploring with children.

🌿 A Stroll Through Nature
The park features extensive trails and informational signage, ensuring you don't get lost and allowing you to gain a deeper understanding of the geological history of this area. As you walk, listening to the crashing waves and feeling the sea breeze, your pace naturally slows, as if time seems to flow more slowly.

We especially recommend the observation deck at the front, offering stunning views of Green Island and the Pacific Ocean. If you're lucky, you might even witness the majestic whitewater crashing against the rock faces.
