"Yeliu" is the promontory where the remaining veins of Datun Mountain protrude into the sea. Viewed from Jinshan Mountain, it looks like a giant turtle diving into the sea, so it is also called "Yeliu Turtle". Due to wave erosion, rock weathering and crustal movement, various unique landscapes such as sea caves, candle-shaped rocks, mushroom-shaped rocks, tofu rocks, honeycomb rocks, pot holes, and dissolution disks have been created. The Queen's Head, Fairy Shoes, Candlestick Stone, etc. are also internationally famous sea erosion wonders. The statue of Lam Tim-chen in the area commemorates his heroic deeds of sacrificing his life to save others.
