- Attraction Introduction -

▲ Elephant Trunk Rock
Located at Shen'ao Cape in Ruifang District, New Taipei City, Elephant Trunk Rock was once listed as one of Taiwan's 36 Secret Places, a unique rock formation that many travelers long to visit. Originally renowned for its majestic, outstretched trunk, Elephant Trunk Rock was remarkably beautiful. However, due to years of erosion and weathering, the trunk broke off in December 2023, transforming into a capybara-like creature. This charming new look has become a real talking point! The rocky landscape evolves with the forces of nature, and each visit offers a different view, making Elephant Trunk Rock unique and irreplaceable. Whether you've seen Elephant Trunk Rock in its original form or are visiting for the first time, it's worth a visit to witness this remarkable sight sculpted by time!

▲ Things to Do Around Shen'ao, Northeast Corner

The Elephant Trunk Rock kayaking experience allows you to gain a unique and in-depth understanding of the secrets of the sea from a different perspective. Near Shen'ao Cape, where Elephant Trunk Rock is located, you'll find Shen'ao Fishing Port, the Bitou Cape Trail, the Shen'ao Rail Bike Trail, and even explore Ruifang Old Street and Jiufen Mountain Town to savor local delicacies. For those who love photography, the ocean views of Badouzi Tidal Park and Keelung Island are also not to be missed!
