Imagine yourself driving a cabriolet on
a seaside road called the Provincial Highway No. 2. You open the car’s roof and the wind starts to play with
your hair. As you travel along the highway, you let your eyes gaze at the tall cliffs. Your ears listen to
the sound of waves crashing against the shore. This rocky road on Taiwan's northeast coast never fails
to amaze tourists. Yes, it is! From the famous Yehliu Geopark to the Dragon Caves in Longdong, there are
lots of places in Taiwan that was driven by the forces of nature. Inspired by my love for geology, it’s time
to add another place that will definitely rock your world.

Nanya Rocks! Bannered by the peculiar
stone, it is the best representation of the geologic forces that shaped this place. When there are typhoons,
giant waves hammer the coastline rounding the edges of big rocks. Strong earthquakes uplift the land revealing
any secret that was kept hidden under the ocean for a very long time. Looking at these large stones is like
gazing at the artwork of nature.
