Queen's Head Introduction
The Vase Rock, which emerged from the ocean surface due to the uplift of coral reefs caused by tectonic movement, has been shaped by the repeated erosion of seawater, giving it the appearance of a vase. At the top of the rock, clusters of green plants grow, resembling small grasses casually tossed onto the opening of the vase, creating a charming and unique silhouette. However, upon closer observation from different angles, one might find that its shape does not resemble a vase, but rather that of an alluring mushroom, or perhaps a person wearing a humorous straw hat. Regardless of the ever-changing appearance of Vase Rock, it undoubtedly remains a focal point of beauty. The beach here is clean, with crystal-clear waters and an enchanting reef ecosystem, making it a popular choice for many to engage in diving activities around Vase Rock. For those not keen on diving, they can still enjoy the fun of splashing in the water. During low tide, the surrounding reefs also become exposed above the water, allowing visitors to wade through shallow waters carefully across the slippery rock surfaces, bringing Vase Rock into close view. Do you know the benefit of playing in the water next to Vase Rock? The advantage is "avoiding the harshness of the sun." Standing nearly nine meters tall, Vase Rock naturally creates a shaded area on its backside under the scorching sun, which is truly precious. In the sweltering summer heat, being able to enjoy the cool sea water is delightful, but the beach typically offers no shelter; thus, while having fun splashing about, one might be harshly sunburned. Therefore, the next time you engage in water activities around Vase Rock, don’t forget this little refuge from the heat. During high tide, wading is not advisable, but observing Vase Rock from a distance offers a different flavor; by employing imaginative distance, one can create a "real" image of being "embraced by the sea bottle" or "organizing the grass in the bottle," adding rich aesthetic experiences to the journey.
