“Sea Candles,” “Ice Cream Rock,” “Princess’ Head” — these are just some of the world’s most peculiar geological formations that you will find in Yehliu Geopark. But, perhaps, this 1700-meter cape’s most famous attraction is the “Queen’s Head” hoodoo, a spire of rock that resembles a queen holding her head up high. Every year, around the lunar month of May, a procession is held to commemorate the discovery of a carved statue of the Chinese sea goddess Mazu in a Yehliu sea cave.

Where: No. 167-1, Gangdong Road, Wanli District, New Taipei City

How to get there: Take the Taiwan Tourist Shuttle (862, Crown Northern Coastline Route) and alight at the Yehliu Geopark stop
