#exploreasia As the name suggests, the natural rock arch resembles the head and trunk of an elephant. The unique shape is the result of erosion of the sea waves over time. The coastline is made up of peculiar stones and rocks which was a sight to see. Upon entering the park, you will have to follow the trail and climb up the slope in order to see the magnificent trunk rock. However, the entire place is scenic so you can just walk around and enjoy the beauty of nature. How we got there?

Keelung Elephant Trunk Rock is really beautiful! The sky was clear and cloudless, the sea was very blue, and there were eagles soaring in the sky. Very suitable for couples and family travel! It’s very comfortable! #Keelung #Elephant Trunk Rock

There are many rocks in Taiwan that have been given special names because of their shapes. One of my favorites is the "Elephant Trunk Rock" located in Ruifang District, New Taipei City. It looks like an ancient rock elephant standing on the sea. The strong sculptural power of nature is even more touching when you are there in person! Unlike taking photos standing on the Elephant Trunk Rock, SUP stand-up paddling allows you to be face to face with the elephants! Use SUP to experience paddling freely on the sea beside the majestic cliffs, and appreciate the wonders of nature from different angles. As far as the eye can see, the entire blue sea and blue sky are all gone, so all worries are left behind.

It stands on the sea, the mountain shape is like an elephant trunk 🐘, very prominent! Although walking to this location requires walking a lot of stone steps, it requires a certain amount of physical strength 💪🏻, but being able to see it up close really feels that nature is really beautiful 💕 Elephant Trunk Rock 📍Shen Ao Cape, Ruifang, New Taipei, Taiwan

There is a large parking lot at the entrance of the Elephant Trunk Rock Scenic Area. It charges a per-trip fee. After passing through a small market, you will enter the Elephant Trunk Rock Scenic Area. Friends who come to Elephant Trunk Rock must wear comfortable, non-slip shoes. The road along the way is rocky and sandy. It is wet and sandy, and the rocks have become very smooth due to tourists walking on them, so you must be careful when walking. Also, it is best to wear closed-toe shoes to avoid accidentally cutting your feet! The Elephant Trunk Rock is a rock that has gradually become what it is today due to years of weathering and sea erosion. It looks like an elephant drinking water, even the color is similar! ! The power of nature is really amazing~ Shen'ao Cape was originally a military site. It was opened a few years ago and immediately became an Instagram check-in hotspot. However, because too many people risked climbing up the elephant trunk or standing too close to the shore in order to take beautiful photos for the Internet, and accidentally fell into the sea, in order to prevent such unfortunate incidents from happening again, the area has been roped off and an administrator is on duty to maintain order. Although it is a bit regrettable, we can fully understand the government’s intentions. And this is also a way to protect these unparalleled works of nature! There are many canoes on the sea! ! The elephant must be even more spectacular and shocking to see from the sea. The Elephant Trunk Rock Scenic Area is really beautiful, no wonder it attracts so many tourists~ Take some time to come here and feel the magical power of nature! ! Thank God for giving us such a beautiful scenery. Let us protect and cherish it together. Although there is a market at the entrance, please do not litter at will! Address: No. 189-5, Shen'ao Road, Ruifang District, New Taipei City (there will be signs along the road) Drive to the fork in the road, turn left to reach the El Capitan Park, turn right to reach the Elephant Trunk Rock Scenic Area #New Taipei Attractions #Shen'ao Cape Elephant Trunk Rock #Domestic Travel #travelstrategy#attractionsphotographyguide#travelcoolexperiences#romanticjourney#goodplaceforparentsandchildren#familyouting#seasidephotographystrategy#wheretogoinsummer

Elephant Rock, one of Taiwan's natural wonders 1 place that you should definitely go to is Shen'ao Elephant Trunk Rock, a strange rock that looks like an elephant at first glance. Let me tell you, come see the Elephant Rock in Taiwan. What's special about it, aside from the Elephant Rock, is that the landscape up here is very good. It's also very beautiful to take pictures of. The rocks are shaped like strange mushrooms. It may be because they've been eroded by wind and rain, but when I first saw it, I was excited and amazed by its beauty. In addition, you can see the mountain range in front of you contrasting with the emerald sea. It's super awesome. But from the parking lot, walking here is quite difficult. Especially if it's raining (like me), you have to be extra careful. It doesn't take long to walk, about 10-15 minutes, and you'll find the rock shaped like an elephant as shown in the picture. Let's go see the atmosphere here. It's beautiful. If you have the chance, you really have to stop by. #Get a discount without relying on luck

#Taipei Attractions Early in the morning, I took a train from Taipei and traveled along the coastline. The long-awaited trip to Shen'ao Elephant Trunk Rock finally started! First sight of Elephant Trunk Rock: a masterpiece of nature After arriving at Ruifang Railway Station, take a taxi for about 15 minutes to reach Shenao Cape. From afar, at the place where the sea and the sky meet, a huge rock lies quietly on the beach, like an elephant lowering its head to drink water. No wonder it is called "Elephant Trunk Rock". As you approach the trail leading to Elephant Trunk Rock, you will see uneven rocks and gravel under your feet. The air is filled with the sound of waves hitting the rock walls, which makes you unconsciously quicken your pace. When I actually stood next to the Elephant Trunk Rock, I was shocked by its huge size and unique shape. Its "trunk" extends toward the sea, as if ready to absorb water at any time, while the "head" stands firmly on the shore, full of power. Overlooking the mountain: magnificent view of the sea and sky Climb up to the top of Elephant Trunk Rock from the rock trail, stepping on the natural stone steps step by step. The wind becomes stronger, but the view becomes wider. Standing on a high place and looking down, the waves constantly hit the rocks, stirring up layers of white foam, as if adding a bit of dynamism to this coast. I particularly like the color of the sea here, with clear levels from light blue to dark blue. Coupled with the azure sky, the whole picture looks like an undecorated watercolor painting. Explore the mysterious rock formations next to the Elephant Trunk Rock There are many strangely shaped rocks next to the Elephant Trunk Rock, some look like honeycombs, some look like waves, all of which are works of art carved by nature. The surface of the rock is rough and hard, and every groove seems to tell the story of the erosion of waves over thousands of years. This is also a paradise for photography enthusiasts. No matter standing in front of or beside the Elephant Trunk Rock, or taking pictures of it with the blue sky and sea from afar, every photo is as shocking as a poster. Reminiscence on the way home: a spiritual journey close to nature When I left Shen'ao Elephant Trunk Rock, I sat on a rock by the sea, quietly watching the sunset cast on the sea. The waves are still beating against the shore, and the Elephant Trunk Rock is still quietly guarding this sea area. This trip is not only a close contact with nature, but also makes me feel the magic and shock of nature. If you also like to explore outdoor wonders, Elephant Trunk Rock will not disappoint you!

#TaiwanTravel Shen’ao Elephant Trunk Rock Let’s take a look at the unseen beauty of Taiwan’s Elephant Trunk Rock. From the parking lot, we have to walk through the rocks, similar to Yehliu. The sea here is very beautiful. We can see the view of the green mountains, very relaxing. Walking up the slope is a bit slippery, making us sweat again. When we reached the elephant head view point, it was very beautiful. In the past, you could walk on the elephant head. But there was an accident, so it was closed. There are officers to look after safety because some points are dangerous, even though there are ropes. For this place, we think it is beautiful no matter when you come. The day we went was very sunny, a bit hot, but the light was beautiful. We took a taxi to get here because it was the most convenient and time-saving. The entrance fee is free.
