Queen's head

The most famous site at the geological park in Yeh Liu, Taipei,Taiwan.

 

"In spite of its popularity, the park is facing one dilemma—preserving natural wonders. Queen’s Head, a giant rock subjected to differential erosion caused by sea water, is the most popular and photographed site in Yehliu Geopark. Exposure all year round to the onslaught of wind, sun and rain has caused the neck of the Queen’s Head to become thinner. It is estimated that the neck will break within five to 10 years". Quoted from "Taiwan Today"
