Queen's head, Mushroom rock formation in Yehliu, Taiwan.
The Queen's Head formation stands 4 meters tall on a peninsula, displaying a narrow base that supports a wider top section resembling a royal profile.
Natural forces including wind, water, and tectonic movements have shaped this limestone formation over millions of years into its current distinctive profile.
Three million visitors each year travel to Yehliu Geopark to observe this geological formation, which has become a symbol of Taiwan's natural heritage.
Visitors can reach the formation by taking bus 1815 from Taipei West Bus Station Terminal A, with the journey lasting approximately 90 minutes.
The neck section of the formation has decreased by 12 centimeters in circumference over eight years, prompting efforts to preserve this natural structure.
