Yehliu Geopark 野柳地質公園 (Taipei)

Memorable day spent with Ah Hiong (老妈) visiting Yehliu Geopark on a raining day.
We took bus no. 1815 from the bus terminal located outside of Taipei Main Station (Door East 1).
The journey took about an hour plus to reach the bus stop along Gangxi Road and from there, we walked to the Yehliu Geopark.
It was windy and raining as we walked along Gangdong Road. Ah Hiong's NT100 umbrella was blown inside out and we broke into laughter. But she continued to use her broken umbrella.
Spotted a number of seafood restaurants along Gangdong Road.
Reaching Yehliu Geopark
We bought the adult ticket at NT80 per person.
Geological and Landscape map found at the Visitor Center.
Cute Princess II
Strong wind and raining! Most of us were wearing raincoat and carrying an umbrella but getting drenched was unavoidable. Advisable to visit Yehliu Geopark during the summer time.

The toasted garlic bread tastes real good and super addictive. I could finish the small packet with no additional assistance. Small packet for 40 baht and big packet for 60 baht.
We placed an order of 25 small packets two hours before we check-out. They delivered to the hotel at a delivery charge of 450 baht. Not too expensive if you share the delivery cost among your friends and the toasted garlic bread is worth it.

Weld Quay Clan Jetties - Chew Jetty 姓周桥 (Penang)

Locates near to Weld Quay Bus Terminal, Clan Jetties namely Tan, Lee, Lim, Yeoh, Chew, Koay, Peng Aun and other mixed surnames, form part of the Penang Heritage. Among the clan jetties, Chew Jetty has became a tourist attraction.
How to get there?
Address: 59A Chew Jetty, Weld Quay, 10300 Georgetown


Chew Jetty is accessible within a few minutes walk from the Weld Quay Bus Terminal. From Komtar, take the CAT Free Shuttle Bus at Bus Stop No. 9 Komtar Pusat to Weld Quay Bus Terminal. You'll see a Taoist temple in front of the entrance of Chew Jetty.

Other buses to Clan Jetties: CAT, 101, 102, 103, 201 (I got this information through brochure, do check with the bus driver upon boarding)
Along the stretch of Chew Jetty that is built on stilts, you can purchase magnets,

 notebooks, notepads, etc as souvenirs.
We also enjoyed the durian puff there. They open daily from 8am to 6pm.
You should try some too!
Yummy!
After visiting Chew Jetty, we went to take some photos of Penang Street Art which is located nearby.
