Yunü Rock (Torch Rock) Introduction
Also known as Couple 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 view of the outer sea, it stands upright on the coast like a bundle of reeds. Another name is ji-mitazizik (meaning leaning), originating from a legend in the local Lan Island tribe. In the legend, the Jade Girl Rock is a filial child who stands between her arguing parents, trying to persuade them not to fight. Despite her efforts, she couldn't stop the quarrel and stood by the coastal road in tears, eventually turning into a rock that can never be called back. This place was also where early residents of the Lan Island tribe would temporarily place their firewood to prevent it from getting wet in the rain when they went down to the beach.
