For solo travelers who love Yehliu’s rock formations but hate the crowds, this free coastal gem offers:

### **Why Solo?**
✔ **All the Drama, None of the Crowds** – Instagram-worthy rocks without photo bombers
✔ **Budget-Friendly** – No entrance fee (unlike Yehliu Geopark)
✔ **Local Vibes** – Watch fishermen haul catches beside surreal stone sculptures

### **Must-See Formations**
**👣 The Fairy’s Footprint** – Perfect heart-shaped erosion pool
**🍄 Mushroom Rocks** – Mini versions of Yehliu’s iconic formations
**🌊 Wave-Watching Platforms** – Dramatic sea spray shows during tides

### **Perfect Solo Trip**
**🌅 Sunrise** – First light paints the stones gold (taxi from Keelung ~NT$300)
📸 **Morning** – Creative photos with the "Dragon’s Backbone" rock ridges
🦞 **Noon** – Fresh seafood lunch at **Wanghai Xiang Seafood** nearby
🚶♂️ **Afternoon** – Coastal walk to **Badouzi Fishing Harbor**

**Pro Tips:**
✔ Wear **non-slip shoes** – volcanic rocks get slippery
✔ Check **tide times** – some formations disappear at high tide
✔ Combine with **Heping Island Park** (15-min drive) for epic geology day

**Did You Know?** These formations are part of the same **Miocene-era** geology as Yehliu – just 1/10th the size!

**Solo Bonus:** The nearby **National Museum of Marine Science** has awesome AC when you need a break.
