Red Head Rock (like a water channel) Introduction
Lanyu has a rich natural ecology, and its unique geology, combined with marine erosion and weathering, has created many uniquely shaped rock formations surrounded by local legends. Among these, the Red Head Rock resembles a human head in profile, and when illuminated by the red twilight of the setting sun, it appears to be a red head lying on the sea. From the side of the cliff, it also resembles an "Indian" called "Red Man," which is how Lanyu got its early name, Red Head Island. The Tao people (Yami people) refer to this rock as Ji-yakmeiso Rsorian, and it is also known as ji-pineiyaow, which means the coastal road that has been artificially excavated to create a tunnel.
