望夫石

Qimei Island, due to the dangerous and arduous nature of fishing work on the island, has had the nickname "Widow Island" in the past. Legend has it that near the Wishing Husband Rock lived a loving couple. One day, the husband went out to sea fishing and did not return for a long time. The wife waited by the shore for her husband day after day until she could no longer withstand hunger and cold, and sadly passed away. Later, she was buried by the sea, and the coastline weathered into the likeness of a woman lying back, complete with hair, body, feet, and a visibly pregnant belly, leading to the widespread legend of Wishing Husband Rock.

Wangfu Stone Introduction

Chipi Island, due to the dangerous and arduous work of fishing men on the island, was once nicknamed the "Widows' Island." According to legend, a loving couple lived near the Husband-Watching Rock. One day, the husband went out to sea to fish and did not return for a long time. The wife waited alone by the shore day after day until she could no longer withstand hunger and cold, ultimately passing away. Later, she was buried by the sea, and the stone coast weathered into a shape resembling a woman lying on her back, complete with hair, body, feet, and a pregnant belly. Thus, the legend of the Husband-Watching Rock spread. Visitors can not only enjoy the scenic view from the Husband-Watching Rock but also cross the stone bridge over its belly to reach the tidal pools. In these small tidal pools, little fish and crabs play, creating a natural ecology classroom. However, it is important to pay attention to the tidal periods to avoid accidents.
