Shitiping has a special rocky shore landscape sculpted by wind and sea water erosion. The intertidal zone is rich in natural ecological resources: crabs, starfish, sea cucumbers, hermit crabs, and colorful fish, waiting for those with keen eyes to explore. At night, you can set up a camp at Shitiping camping ground on the marine bench. The next day, you can welcome the beautiful sunrise right in front of the tent, and watch the morning sun break through the clouds and cast on the sea, making it golden and brilliant.
World-class outdoor geology classroom
Shitiping is located at the south end of Shiti Bay in Fengbin Township, Hualien County. The entire area is a huge, well-developed sea erosion terrace. The marine bench, raised coral reefs, sea ditches, and sea cliffs can be easily spotted, among which the pothole landscape is the best in Taiwan.
The coast of Shitiping is rich in coral reefs and tropical fish. The tide pools formed by the potholes in the intertidal zone are filled with various marine life such as seaweed, fish, shrimps, and shellfish, making Shitiping the perfect place for observing intertidal zone ecology, diving, and rock fishing.
Visitors can follow the circular trail or climb up the 17-meter-high cuesta. You can enjoy the geological landscape of Shitiping as well as the magnificent view of the Pacific Ocean.
