It's located in the Wanli Hsiang, is a cape of which Datun mountain extended its range into the sea, owing to the efflorescence of rocks, erosion of sea waves and the rise of the crust, which formed Doufu- shaped rocks, mushroom-shaped rocks, bee net stones, candle stand- shaped stones, eroded pot caves, eroded sea ditches, etc. and therefore there are famous Queen head, Fairy shoe, Candle stand-shaped stone etc. which are all wonderful rock scenery and attract numerous tourists including foreigners to come.

The attached marine animal show plant with the Ocean Park within is the first one in Taiwan, showing the graceful water Balei show, exciting upper air diving show, and active and interesting dolphins & sea lions shows. Besides, you can walk into the sub-tunnel and watch the fantastic views.

Queen's Head

The Yeliu Scenery
Yeliu is a 1.7-kilometer-long cape that juts into the sea , easily reached on a day trip. The scenery is spectacular. Wave erosion, weathering, and the action of the earth's crust have combined to create sea-eroded trenches, candlestick rocks, mushroom rocks, beehive rocks, and potholes. Among the most famous results of erosion here are those named Queen's Head Rock, Fairy Shoe, and Candlestick Rock.

Yehliu scenic spot is a place that contains many rock formation in strange shapes, like the queen's head, fairy's shoe, elephant's nose and candle stand, etc. Try to find out every single bit from this scenic spot. You could enjoy it for almost a whole day.

Yehliu: See unique sandstone formations along the north coast of Taiwan. The wind and the surf have carved out figures and shapes, including this 'Queen Rock' formation.

Yehliu makes a pretty easy day trip (by Bus, car, or taxi...) from Taipei, and is definately recommended, as this is one of the more unique places that you will find in Taiwan...
