Yunü Rock (Torch Rock) Introduction
Also known as Couple Rock, the unique hollow shape of 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 perspective of the offshore sea, it stands on the coast like a bundle of reeds. Another name is ji-mitazizik (meaning leaning), which originates from a local legend of the Lanyu tribe. In the legend, the Jade Girl Rock is a dutiful child who stands between the parents to prevent them from arguing, but despite her efforts, she cannot stop the quarrel. She stands by the circular island road, shedding tears, and ultimately turns into a rock that can no longer be called back. This place was also used by early residents of the Lanyu tribe to temporarily store firewood to keep it dry from the rain when going down to the beach. More Lanyu travel tips.
