Queen's Head, Taiwan
Queen’s Head is one of the more famous hoodoos found in Yehliu Geopark, Taiwan. The rock’s shaping is dated at around 4000 years old; the name comes from the rock appearing to look like the profile of Queen Elizabeth II, after the rock fell apart in 1962-1963. The narrowest part of the neck is about 138cm.
Yehliu itself (Chinese: 野柳; pinyin: Yěliǔ) is a cape on the north coast of Taiwan in the town of Wanli between Taipei and Keelung. The cape is referred to as the Yehliu Promontory and forms part of the Taliao Miocene Formation. It formed when the Datun Mountain (大屯山) was pushed out of the sea; the cape stretches 1,700metres into the ocean.

Taiwan | Yehliu Geopark (野柳地質公園) | The Queen's Head Rock | Disneyland for Rock Lovers
Yehliu Geopark is home to a number of unique geological formations. The most famous and iconic is the Queen's Head (女王頭). Yehliu Geopark is located along a cape stretching out from the town of Wanli. Part of the Daliao Miaocene Formation, the cape stretches around 1,700 meters, formed as thousands of years of geological movement forced the Datun Mountains to change their shape, jutting out into the ocean. Besides the Queen's Head, other remarkable formations include Mushrooms, Sea Candles (燭台石), Fairy Shoe (仙女鞋), and the famous Princess's Head.

Yehliu Geopark (野柳地質公園), Wanli, Taiwan, 03/23/2011
Yehliu (Chinese: 野柳; pinyin: Yěliǔ) is a cape on the north coast of Taiwan in the town of Wanli between Taipei and Keelung.
Geological forces at work on Datun Mountain gave rise to the area as the mountain was pushed up from the depths below. With the help of sea erosion and weathering, this area has some very distinctive geological features believed to be 10-25 million years old. As the limestone and calcium carbonate surface is more resistant to erosion, the resulting landscape is fractured and filled with giant rocks, pot holes, and fossils. These rocks make for some breathtaking scenery and certainly worthy of at least a day trip to the cape. Strolling around, one might find themselves wondering whether they just stepped on the set of a sci-fi movie versus a geological park in Taiwan!
A number of rock formations have been given imaginative names based on their shapes. The most well-known is the The Queen's Head (女王頭), an iconic image in Taiwan and an unofficial emblem for the town of Wanli. Other formations include The Fairy Shoe, The Bee Hive, The Ginger Rocks and The Sea Candles.
TAIWAN VLOG YEHLIU QUEEN’S HEAD
It's my 3rd time going to Taiwan. We went to Yehliu Geopark. We visited the famous Queen's HEad, one of the most famous scenes in Yehliu, a kind of mushroom rock. It is assessed that the age of the rock about 4,000 years old. Amazing right? hehe,
Ayon sa Taiwan News. malapit na masira ang queen's head kaya gumagawa sila ng mga paraan para proteksyunan ito upang di masira kase panipis na ng panipis ang leeg neto. Ayon sa kanila maaaring after 5 to 10 years pede itong masira. Kaya maraming guards ang nakapaligid at nagbabantay sa Queen's HEad. Bawal itong hawakan ng turista. kahawig daw ito ng England's Queen (Queen ELizabeth).
How to get there:
From Taipei West Bus Station(located at Taipei Main Station), go to the Kuokuang window and purchase a ticket for NT$96 to Yehliu Geopark. The journey takes around 90 minutes, and the bus will drop you on the main road just outside the park entrance.

Experiments underway to save Yehliu’s Queen’s Head rock
The threat of weather erosion could lead to the demise of one of northern Taiwan’s most popular tourist attractions, the Queen’s Head Rock. A team of experts assembled to save it began on-site experimentation of chemical formulas today to choose the one most suited to protecting the queen’s thinning neck. As this line of people shows, the Queen’s Head rock, in Yehliu, New Taipei, is a must-see destination for Chinese tourists. Also present is a group of experts here to save the queen.A research team led by National Taiwan University Professor Hsieh Kuo-huang is first applying different waterproof repair formulas to four “mushroom” rocks located beside the Queen’s Head. It will choose the formula that provides the best combination of strength and color proximity to use on the queen’s neck.Hsieh Kuo-huangNTU Chemical EngineeringThe formula is water-based, so it’s able to deeply penetrate the rock. The more layers of rock, the greater the waterproof capability.The queen, already aged 4,000 years, loses about 2 centimeters off her neck circumference each year due to natural conditions such as wind erosion. If nothing is done, the team of experts believes the rock could topple within the next decade.
Yehliu Geopark looks to a future without its famed Queen’s Head rock
Yehliu Geopark is seeking ways to protect the Queen’s Head rock from wind erosion, which experts believe could topple the rock within five to 10 years. Efforts to apply a nanometer erosion-resistant coating over the past nine months have largely ended in failure. Faced with few options, park authorities sought to anoint another rock formation to be the successor to the Queen’s Head. Tourists line up to take their photograph with Yehliu’s famed Queen’s Head rock. Unfortunately, concerns about the rock toppling over due to erosion have yet to be resolved.Yang Ching-chienYehliu Geopark General ManagerWe commissioned Hsieh Kuo-huang’s research team at National Taiwan University to study the situation. He has tested 10 different methods, including using nanometer technology to increase the ability of the rock surface to resist wind erosion.Last year, the research team tested a type of nanometer paste on four mushroom rocks surrounding the Queen’s Head. It didn’t anticipate the flaking and whitening that soon occurred, leading the test to be a pronounced failure.Fearing that the iconic rock formation may soon be gone, the North Coast Scenic Area Administration quickly sought a potential replacement to take the Queen’s Head place as the park’s top attraction.Those lying in wait include the Cute Princess Rock, a sort of younger version of the Queen’s Head with her hair in a bun, as well as a rock formation dubbed King Kong and a scale replica of the Queen’s Head.Kuo Chen-lingNorth Coast Scenic AreaThree years ago we held a vote to decide a successor to the Queen’s Head. The Cute Princess Rock received the most votes and became our official successor to the Queen’s Head.As it stands, Yehliu’s beloved Queen’s Head is likely approaching the end of her natural life. Park authorities are not only deploying emergency measures but also preparing the way for her future successor.

野柳女王頭Yehliu Geopark Queen's Head
Linda和老J來到了非常漂亮的野柳地質公園，特別來看自然風化形成的女王頭與公主頭們，站在野柳的岸邊，視野非常的好，可以聽到海浪拍打沿岸的聲音，可以看到湛藍的海岸，除了人有點多外（哈哈），是個非常美麗的景點．回程的路上，我們去參觀了鹽燈工廠，還去逛了基隆夜市，是個很棒的一日遊行程．
