Travel diary - (Day 7) Shifen-Jiufen-Gold Musuem-Keelung-Modern toilet

At Day 7 of our trip, we had Mr Huang as our driver. He brought us to Shifen for sky lantern.

 

We went to Jiufen for lunch.

Gold Ecological Park (Jingguashi). Jinguashi (金瓜石), located in the Ruifang District of New Taipei City, is famous for its gold and copper mines. 

The northernmost scenic spot of the Northeast Coast, Nanya is renowned for the wind and sea sculpted rock formations scattered along its shores. The primary site for viewing rock formations is called Nanya Peculiar Rocks

Nanya Rock formation

The substantial Jinguashi rainfall seeps into the mine shafts through cracks in the surface rock, becoming acidulous water after interacting with the pyrite and energite underground and undergoing oxidation reduction. A natural wonder “Gold Waterfall” has formed where the terrain drops sharply. This is one of the sources of the Yin-yang Sea.
