Queen's head, Mushroom rock formation in Yehliu, Taiwan.
The Queen's Head is a limestone formation on the Yehliu Peninsula featuring a slender neck that supports a broad rounded cap. The shape resembles a profile when viewed from a specific angle.
This limestone formation took shape over millions of years through wind and water erosion acting on the rock layers. Ongoing natural processes continue to change its appearance gradually.
The formation has become a beloved natural symbol that draws visitors from around the world to experience Taiwan's geological heritage. It serves as a focal point that defines how people see and remember this peninsula.
The formation can be easily reached on foot from the main Geopark area. Visitors should prepare for uneven ground and wear appropriate footwear when exploring the rocks.
The narrow neck connecting the two sections becomes thinner each year due to ongoing natural erosion. This visible rate of change reminds visitors that these rock formations are not static but constantly evolving.
