Wangfu Stone Introduction

Chimei Island, known in the past as the "Widow Island" due to the dangerous and arduous fishing work of the men, has a legend associated with it. According to the tale, a loving couple lived near the Wishing Husband Stone. One day, the husband went out to sea to fish and did not return. The wife waited alone by the shore, day after day, until she could bear the hunger and cold no longer and sadly passed away. Later, she was buried by the sea, and the rocky shore became weathered, resembling a woman lying on her back, complete with hair, body, feet, and a pregnant belly. Thus, the legend of the Wishing Husband Stone spread. In addition to enjoying the scenic views from the Wishing Husband Stone, visitors can also cross the stone bridge to reach the tidal pools. These tidal pools are home to small fish and crabs that swim around, creating a natural ecological classroom. However, it is essential to pay attention to the tide times to avoid accidents.
