Shihyusan, Natural rock formation in Taitung County, Taiwan.

Shihyusan is a rock formation with an umbrella-like shape standing along Taiwan's eastern coastline near a fishing port. The structure rises from the coastal landscape and creates a distinctive geological landmark in the area.

The rock formation developed over millions of years through natural erosion processes that shaped Taiwan's eastern coastal landscape. These gradual geological changes created the distinctive shape that exists today.

Local fishermen use this landmark as a navigation point in their daily routines at sea. The distinctive shape has become part of the area's maritime identity and folklore.

You can reach the formation through a short walk from the nearby fishing port, where parking and basic facilities are available. The best time to visit is during good weather when the coastal paths are easy to walk.

The rock structure changes its appearance throughout the day as sunlight moves across its surface, creating different shadow patterns on the stone. These shifting light conditions give the formation different looks at different times of day.
