Warship Rock Introduction
Due to its resemblance to a warship, there is a legend that during World War II, when the American and Japanese forces were fighting at Lanyu (Orchid Island), American aircraft mistaken the warship rock for an actual warship and bombarded it. This misfire incident is still vividly remembered by the elders of the Dongqing tribe. The island, with its swift ocean currents and hidden waves, has created a rich ecosystem, leading to a diverse and abundant fish population, making it a traditional fishing ground for the Dongqing tribe in earlier times. The unique shape of the warship rock attracts many photography enthusiasts who come to capture its breathtaking beauty, leaving behind majestic images of the rock.
