Warship Rock Introduction

Due to its appearance resembling a warship, it is said that during World War II, when the United States and Japan were engaged in combat near Lanyu, American aircraft mistook Awarua Rock for a military ship and bombarded it. This event is still vividly remembered by the elders of the Dongqing tribe. The island's swift ocean currents and hidden waves have created a rich ecosystem, resulting in a diverse and abundant fish population, which was traditionally exploited by the Dongqing tribe as a fishing ground. The unique shape of Awarua Rock attracts photography enthusiasts who come to capture its breathtaking beauty, leaving behind a grand impression of the rock. For more travel tips about Lanyu.
