Red Head Rock (like a water channel) Introduction
Lanyu has a rich natural ecology, and its unique geology, combined with coastal erosion and weathering, has created many uniquely shaped rock formations surrounded by local legends. Among them, Red Head Rock resembles a human head in profile, and when illuminated by the sunset, it appears as a red head lying on the sea. When viewed from the cliffside, it also resembles the "Red Man," a name given in reference to the indigenous peoples of North America. Lanyu was previously known as Red Head Island because of this. The Tao people (Yami people) refer to this rock as Ji-yakmeiso Rsorian, and it also has another name, ji-pineiyaow, which refers to the artificially carved tunnel on the island's circumferential road.
