Overlooking the coast at Jinshan, Dharma Drum Mountain is the largest Buddhist community in Northern Taiwan. The complex is formally a Buddhist education center, with a library, meditation halls, conference rooms and accommodations for monastics and visiting scholars, as well as dining halls, landscape gardens and collections of religious artworks and artifacts. Chiufen Village was once the center of gold mining in Taiwan. The gold is gone, but these quaint old villages, built of closely-packed houses clinging to steep mountainsides, continue to offer enchanting scenery and fascinating glimpse into the lifestyles of the past. Yehliu Geo Park is renowned for its extraordinary rock landscapes. Those unique rock shapes formed by surf and weathering are the masterpieces of the nature. The Queen’ Head is the most famous representative which you should be never missing.
