Your tour to Yehliu Geopark and Taiwan’s north coast continues with a visit to Guihou, a small fishing village, also the home to “Wanli crabs” (the wild sea crabs caught off Wanli District, New Taipei City). Every year during autumn, there are always large crowds flock to buy the fresh and live Wanli crabs in Guihou Fisherman's Market. Today, Guihou Fishing Harbor is known for Wanli crabs, and has become one of the busiest harbors along the north coast.
