Replicas are seen in different areas of the park. Its purpose is to preserve the original formations, some are damaged due to natural disasters or by unruly tourists.
Leopard Rock replica, the original formation was collapsed by a typhoon in 2010.

The rock formation names were inspired by their corresponding shapes. Aside from the famous Queen's Head, other famous formations include the Princess Head, Fairy Shoe, Elephant Rock, Ice Cream Rock, Kissing Rock, Beehive, Ginger Rocks, Sea Candles, and the Mushroom Rock.




Just a tip, avoid the overwhelming crowd by scheduling your visit on a weekday. We paid a visit on a Saturday afternoon, the crowd was really thick which discouraged us to explore the park further.



Food and item souvenirs are also available at the nearby market stalls, making it the perfect destination right after exploring the park.
