Shimendong — Attraction in New Taipei

A coastal area you can visit lies behind the mountain and the hill. You can stroll around and notice that seashells are already mixed with plenty of small plastics, so if you find some, it would be great to take them and throw them away. The area is not too crowded, I saw people taking walks or enjoy small picnics, kids playing around, pets running or swimming near the very edge, and people like me taking a bunch of photos and videos.

The place may look secluded, but you can still have a toilet and parking space. I visited the place on the weekend and found one food vendor located in the fishing port nearby, which I don't know what food. There is also a cafe and an adorable bus stop across the road and a temple beside this bus stop. The closest convenience store is only 7-10...

The good thing is this beautiful place is situated right off the bus stop. It was a good experience to stay with your own friends and have some fun!

But once I got here, there are more to enjoy, other than taking a few pictures in front or around and he cave. It is actually located very close to the coastline, and there is a nice little bridge for people to walk across and take pictures on. I spent at least one hour there just take pictures around the rock area watching the crabs...

We knew this wonderful scenery spot from the day we moved to Taiwan but only sometime ago stopped for a walk around there. And it was awesome. This Stone Gate is absolutely natural and was forming more than 1 mln years from the time of local Datun Volcanic Group eruptions. Thousands years of corrosion, earthquakes, typhoons and thats it. Kids can surely have fun here as there are many tiny crabs in the water hiding in shells plus sea-stars etc. Sunset view is fantastic especially when you can see airplanes passing above preparing for landing.
