Yunü Rock (Torch Rock) Introduction

Also known as Couple Rock, the unique hollow shape of Jade Woman Rock has sparked endless imagination among the Tao people (Yami people). Traditionally, the Tao people referred to Jade Woman Rock as "ji-mavonot," which means a bundle of reeds. From the open sea, this rock appears to stand like a bundle of reeds on the coastline. Another name is "ji-mitazizik," meaning leaning, which originates from the legends of the local Lang Island tribe. According to the legend, Jade Woman Rock is a filial child who used their body to block the argument between their parents, but despite their efforts, the quarrel continued. The child stood by the coastal highway, secretly weeping, ultimately becoming a rock that could never be returned. This site was also a place where early residents of the Lang Island tribe would temporarily place firewood to prevent it from getting wet in the rain while descending to the beach.
