Wangfu Stone Introduction
Qimei Island, known for the dangers and hardships faced by the men who fish there, was once humorously referred to as the "Widow Island." According to legend, near the Wishing Husband Rock lived a loving couple. One day, the husband went out to sea to fish but did not return for a long time. His wife waited alone by the shore for her beloved to return, day after day, until she could no longer endure the hunger and cold, and sadly passed away. Later, she was buried by the sea, and the stone coast remarkably weathered into the shape of a woman lying on her back, complete with hair, body, feet, and a pregnant belly. The legend of Wishing Husband Rock thus spread far and wide. Visitors to Wishing Husband Rock can not only enjoy the scenic views but also cross over its belly via a stone bridge to reach the tidal pools. In these pools, small fish and crabs play, providing a natural ecological classroom. However, it is essential to be cautious of the tide schedules to avoid accidents.
