Beach description
Green Bay is an impressive coastline with a length of one and a half kilometers, covered with fine white sand. It is surrounded by parks and grassy lawns, which served as the source of its name. The entrance to the beach is decorated with snow-white arches and columns in a Mediterranean style and looks very impressive against the background of emerald greenery and the turquoise ocean.
Despite the fact that Feicuiwan cannot boast of a developed beach infrastructure and perfect cleanliness, it is still one of the most crowded and visited on the north coast. Every year, extreme sportsmen come here from all over the country to surf, board, water-ski or take part in a sailing regatta. The surroundings of Cape Yeliu are famous for their many underwater caves and grottoes, which attract diving and snorkelling enthusiasts. Green Bay is also known for its hang gliding and paragliding schools, which are not numerous in Taiwan.
In addition to youth and athletes, on the beach you can often meet families with young children and older couples. Swimming here is safe and comfortable, the entrance to the water is smooth, the bottom is flat and sandy. Entrance to the beach is paid, for the use of toilets and showers you will also have to fork out.

Near the beach there is an amazing futuristic town, as if descended from the screens of science fiction films about space aliens. On its territory there are a dozen houses resembling flying saucers and space capsules. They were designed in the late 60s – early 70s by the Finnish architect Matti Suuprnenny and were conceived as convenient modular cottages for tourists. Such designs can be seen in various parts of the world, even on the slopes of the Dombai ski resort. But for some reason, this "space" town was abandoned and now is a rather miserable, but still impressive sight. Once the houses were equipped with everything necessary (modern appliances, comfortable furniture and air conditioning), but now they are completely looted and serve as warehouses for all trash. Those that are closer to the sea are rented to fishermen and unassuming tourists. Rumor has it that soon the exotic town will be completely demolished and a modern multi-story hotel will be built in its place. In the meantime, Futuro House remains the highlight of northern Taiwan and invariably attracts many tourists who want to be photographed against the backdrop of alien buildings.
Yeliu's amazing natural geopark, which is a cluster of bizarre stone sculptures of an unusual shape, is also noteworthy. Among them you can see the Elephant, the Horn with Ice Cream, Sea candles, Magic shoes and even the Head of the Princess. Tourists from all over the world come to admire this miracle of nature – the geopark is deservedly one of the most popular and visited places in the north of Taiwan.
