Yunv Rock (Torch Rock) Introduction

Also known as Husband and Wife Rock, from the unique hollow shape of Maiden Rock, it has sparked endless imagination among the Tao people (Yami people). In the past, the Tao people (Yami people) referred to Maiden Rock as ji-mavonot (meaning a bundle of reeds). When viewed from the sea, it stands upright by the coast like a bundle of reeds. Another name is ji-mitazizik (meaning leaning), originating from the local legend of the Lang Island tribe. In the legend, the Maiden Rock is a filial child who stood between their quarreling parents, trying to block them from arguing. Despite their efforts, the child could not stop the fight and stood by the island's coastal road, secretly crying, ultimately becoming a rock that could never return. This place was also where early residents of the Lang Island tribe would temporarily place firewood by the seaside to prevent it from getting wet in the rain. More travel tips for Orchid Island.
