望夫石

Chimei Island is known as the "Widow Island" due to the dangerous and arduous fishing work that men undertake there, leading to accidents. According to legend, there once lived a loving couple near the Wishing Stone. One day, the husband went fishing and did not return for a long time. The wife waited alone on the shore day after day until she could no longer bear the hunger and cold, ultimately passing away. Later generations buried her by the sea, and the stone coast gradually took on the shape of a woman lying on her back, complete with hair, body, feet, and a pregnant belly, thus the legend of the Wishing Stone spread widely.

Wangfu Stone Introduction

Qimei Island, known as the "Widow Island" due to the dangerous and arduous fishing work of the men on the island, has a poignant legend associated with it. According to the legend, near the Wishing Husband Rock lived a loving couple. One day, the husband went out to sea for fishing and failed to return for a long time. The wife, waiting by the shore for her beloved to come back, endured day after day of hunger and cold, ultimately passing away. Later, she was buried by the sea, and the rocky shore weathered into the shape of a woman lying down, complete with hair, body, legs, and a pregnant belly, resembling her figure. Thus, the legend of Wishing Husband Rock spread widely. Visitors can enjoy the scenery from Wishing Husband Rock and cross the stone bridge over its belly to reach the tidal pools, where little fish and crabs play, serving as a natural ecological classroom. However, caution is advised during low tide to avoid accidents.
