Quick Facts

History & Context

Volcanic Origins and Geological Formation Qixing Mountain rises prominently within the Beitou District, the tallest peak in the Tatun Volcano Group. Its volcanic structure is primarily composed of andesite, the result of explosive eruptions during the late Pleistocene. The formation process began when magma, rich in silica, intruded into older sedimentary layers, producing a stratovolcano with multiple domes. Over time, erosion sculpted the mountain into a rugged profile with steep slopes and deep ravines, while hydrothermal alteration left deposits of sulfur and clay in exposed areas.
