Cape ShenAo (Chinese: 深澳 岬角) is located in Ruifang District (瑞芳區), New Taipei City (新北市), Taiwan. Due to strong monsoon and erosion, the rock formations here are strange and beautiful, Elephant Trunk Rock (象鼻岩) is amongst the most spectacular.
From the car park, you need to walk a while to reach Elephant Trunk Rock, the scenery alongshore is pretty good, which makes you feel like you are on another planet.
Elephant Trunk Rock is almost at the end of the cape, both shape and texture look like a giant elephant, even you can find eye and ear if you input more imaginations.
There is no railing on the Elephant Trunk Rock, be very careful if you want to climb on the rock.
From the top of the rock, you can see the horizon of Pacific Ocean and Keelung Islet (基隆嶼), the scenery is beautiful.
Since Cape ShenAo is still not a formal tourist spot yet, there is no shop around here, only a few hawkers selling natural gelatin.
