From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Taiwan,officially the Republic of China (ROC; Chinese: 中華民國; pinyin: Zhōnghuá Mínguó), is a state in East Asia. Originally based in mainland China, the Republic of China now governs the island of Taiwan (formerly known as Formosa), which makes up over 99% of its territory,[f] as well as Penghu, Kinmen, Matsu, and other minor islands.

Yehliu (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, known by geologists as the Yehliu Promontory, forms part of the Taliao Miocene Formation. It stretches approximately 1,700 meters into the ocean and was formed as geological forces pushed Datun Mountain (大屯山) out of the sea.[1]
A distinctive feature of the cape is the hoodoo stones that dot its surface. These shapes can be viewed at the Yeliu Geopark operated by the North Coast and Guanyinshan National Scenic Area Administration. 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."

A replica of Queen's Head named "Queen Head II" was created.
Following are quoted from it's bulletin
"Due to long term weathering and eroision,the appearance of Queen's Head, the symbol of the Yehliu Geopark, is gradually down. In order to preservce it's elegant shape and provide tourists with another good attraction for appreciation, photo taking as well as a model for eductional teaching , this fiberglass replica of the Queen's Head was produced using 3D digital model of the original. The replica is made of PU materials and CNC (Computer Numerical Control) processed to create a real size 3D model;this was followed up by FRP reproduction,minute laborious treatment,manual simulation coloring and sandstone surface simulating treatment to finally create this newly produced Queen's Head"
