TAIPEI: A famed natural attraction in northern Taiwan, the Elephant Trunk Rock, has ceased to exist, no thanks to the very same forces of nature that formed it.
Getting its name from its resemblance to a pachydermal head and trunk, the rock collapsed and fell into the sea at about 2pm on Dec 16, according to the Ruifang District Office in New Taipei City.
