After about an hour+ drove from Taipei, we reached Yeh Liu (野柳). Well, our purpose was to visit the Famous Yeh Liu Geopark. But before that, we had our lunch in this Wang Hai Tin Seafood Restaurant (望海亭海鲜餐馆)(N25.20421 E121.69038) which is not far away from the Geopark.

Ok, these were what we had...
Cabbage
Cucumber and squids
Sea snails
Steam prawns with Wasabi (ワサビ（山葵)
Steam Fish. It was Fresh!
Lobster
Overall, the foods were Fantastic! I like almost every dishes on the table. Especially the fish, sea snails and the steam prawn with Wasabi (First time tasted). We really enjoy our lunch and we took almost 2 hours to finished it. :)
As I noticed the price tag on the tank outside the restaurant, seems like the prices of the seafoods here are very reasonable and affordable!
Verdict :4.5/5 (overall)
Do drop by the restaurant if you are happen to be around.
The National Revolutionary Martyr's Shrine(N25.07826 E121.53358) is located at the roundabout along the BeiAn Road of Taipei, Taiwan.
The Martyr's Shrine of Taipei
"The Martyr’s Shrine was built to commemorate soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country during the War of Resistance against Japan and Civil War between Nationalist Government and the Communist Party. The Martyr’s Shrine was built in 1969, with the main architecture designed similar to Taihe Dian Imperial Palace in Beijing. The grand design symbolizes the braveness and selfless spirits of the martyrs. Covering a large area, with mountains nearby and facing Keelung River, the Martyr’s Shrine is a significant attraction noting the history and culture of Taiwan." Source from here.
When we reached the shrine, the timing was just Nice! The Military Soldiers Officers just about to change their shift. The Martyr's Shrine visit by many tourists everyday, one of the purpose is to witness the Officers changing shift.
