These rocks have taken formation of famous shapes and figures. The most famous being the &#8220;Queen&#8217;s Head&#8221;. This got its name because it looks like the head of an ancient queen. Other rocks include mushroom rocks, cute princess II and honeycomb rocks. It is really cool to see how nature can create art on its own.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wareishenow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_2153.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2046\" src=\"https:\/\/wareishenow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_2153-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"419\" height=\"558\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wareishenow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_2153-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wareishenow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_2153-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/wareishenow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_2153-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/wareishenow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/IMG_2153.jpg 1108w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 419px) 100vw, 419px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Please note that some of the figures have been recreated from plastic for picture-taking purposes, because this is a natural environment some of the rocks are on their way to being destroyed just as naturally as they were created.

If you find yourself visiting the park, I highly suggest visiting here for lunch. Yenni had a traditional rice dish which is not pictured. For us lunch was 300 NT.<\/p>\n<p>After we had finished, we were not ready to head back to Taipei so we headed to the main road to catch a bus to the hot spring area.
