Girl Rock (Torch Rock) Introduction
Also known as Couples Rock, the unique hollow shape of the Jade Girl Rock has sparked endless imagination among the Tao people (Yami people). In the past, the Tao people referred to Jade Girl Rock as ji-mavonot (meaning a bundle of reeds). From the open sea looking toward this rock, it stands like a bundle of reeds on the coastline. Another name is ji-mitazizik (meaning to lean), which originates from a legend of the local Lang Island tribe. According to the legend, the Jade Girl Rock was a dutiful child who stood between her arguing parents, trying to stop them from quarreling. Unfortunately, she could not prevent the argument, and while standing by the coastal highway in tears, she eventually became the rock that can no longer be called back.
