Taoist Cap

Taoist Cap

Taoist Cap is a pictographic rock formation made of rhyolite. It took its current shape after being exposed to the surface due to crustal uplift during the Mesozoic era, followed by erosion from flowing water and weathering. The rock is approximately 80 meters long, 40 meters wide, with a circumference of about 250 meters, covering an area of around 3,200 square meters, and has a relative height of about 50 meters.

It runs in a north-south direction, being wider at both ends and narrower in the middle. The lower parts of the surrounding area form steep cliffs, while the upper part bulges slightly outward, forming a 165-degree angle with the vertical line, resembling the brim of a Taoist cap.

The top of the rock is relatively flat and slightly arched, resembling the cap’s top. The surrounding area consists of rocky surfaces, with sparse small shrubs growing on the top, indicating good vegetation. From a distance, it looks just like a Taoist cap.

On the eastern side of Taoist Cap, beads of water cascade down from the mountaintop, creating a spectacular sight and producing sounds like a harmonious musical performance with beautiful melodies.
