Warship Rock Introduction
Due to its appearance resembling a battleship, it is said that during World War II, when the U.S. and Japanese forces were engaged in a battle near Orchid Island, American aircraft mistook Battleship Rock for a naval ship and opened fire. This incident is still vividly remembered by the elders of the Dongqing Tribe. The island is characterized by strong currents and hidden waves, creating a rich ecosystem that leads to a diverse and plentiful population of fish, making it a traditional fishing ground for the Dongqing Tribe in earlier times. With its unique shape, Battleship Rock attracts photographers who come to capture its breathtaking beauty, leaving an impressive mark on its splendor. More Orchid Island travel tips.
