Half-day trip: How to get from Taipei’s downtown to Yehliu Geopark (New Taipei)

Estimated visiting time: 0.5 days (You should go early in the morning)

Yehliu Geopark is located in New Taipei City. However, because New Taipei has a vast area, the nearest route will pass Keelung city and back to the northern part of New Taipei City. 

You can get on bus number 1815 or 1815A of Kuo Khuang Motor Company from Taipei Bus Station. The company has its bus boarding station outside the Taipei Bus Station building, in front of East Gate No. 1.

Bus No. 1815 (Taipei Station – Jinshan Youth Activity Center) departs every 10 – 20 minutes and operates from 5:40 – 23:10. Bus number 1815A (Taipei Station – 法鼓山 Dharma Drum Mountain) will depart every 1-2 hours, and the last stop is at Dharma Drum Temple, starting from 9:15 to 18:20.

If you travel by MRT to Taipei Main Station (BL12/R10), please follow the route to exit M2. Kuo Khung Motor bus station is in front of the stairs. You can take the bus immediately and use a paid Easy Card (student card). The cost for a trip is 120 NT (students get a discounted fee).

Travel time from Taipei Bus Station to the bus stop in front of Yehliu Geopark (Yehliu Bus stop) is about 1 hour 20 minutes. Then you have to walk 550 meters to buy tickets before exploring the park. You will pass a fishing port and a temple along the way to the park gate. You can visit them for free.

Geopark Tickets cost 80 NT (Student gets 50% off). You need to present your student card when purchasing and at the entrance.

The areas inside the park can be divided into 3 parts: the entrance gate with geological introduction samples, the main geological site, and the lighthouse. It takes about 1.5-2 hours to visit the whole park. If you don’t go to the lighthouse, 1 hour is enough.
