Wanli
萬里區
Spend a half‑day in Wanli to see Yehliu Geopark’s rock formations; no overnight needed unless you want beach‑front bungalows.
Wanli is a coastal district of New Taipei famous for Yehliu Geopark’s unusual rocks and nearby hot‑spring beaches. It has no rail link, so a few hours by bus or car from Taipei suffices for a quick visit.

Etiquette, safety and scams
Etiquette
- Greeting: A nod or light handshake; 'nǐ hǎo'; avoid: Hugs with new acquaintances
- Handing things: Two hands for cards, gifts and money; avoid: Tossing money on the counter
- Gifts: Fruit or a boxed sweet for hosts; refuse once before accepting; avoid: Clocks, umbrellas, pears and anything in fours — they sound like death or parting
- MRT: Queue at the markings, give up priority seats; avoid: Eating, drinking or chewing gum past the gates
- Temples: Enter right, exit left; one or three sticks of incense; avoid: Stepping on thresholds; pointing at deities
- Home visit: Shoes off; slippers provided; avoid: Writing names in red ink
- Sensitive topics: Follow your host's lead; many people hold a range of views on identity and cross-strait ties; avoid: Assuming everyone thinks the same about China or the ROC's status
Scams and watch-outs
- Bus schedules are limited on weekends; check the latest timetable.
- Some rock sites can be slippery after rain; wear sturdy shoes.
- No on‑site tourist information desk; have a map or offline GPS.
Wanli is safe for day visitors; watch for sudden rain on cliffs and keep an eye on tide times at beaches.
