Hou-shih Skirt Reef Introduction
Liuqiu Island is home to many rugged and bizarre rocks, most of which are concentrated near the "Thick Stone Skirt Reef" along the southeastern coastline. Traveling from Wukuidong along the circular road, one encounters a giant rock resembling a red sweet potato, topped with lush foliage. From a distance, its overall outline looks like the head of a Native American, hence it is called "Red Sweet Potato Rock." Further down, using your imagination, you will discover a rock that resembles Guanyin, sitting gracefully by the shore, backed by the mountains and facing the sea; upon closer inspection, its facial features are quite distinct! In addition to Red Sweet Potato Rock and Guanyin Rock, there are also Climbing Tiger Rock, Polar Bear Rock, and Response Stone among others. When visiting this area, don't just snap a quick photo and leave; let your imagination run wild and come up with names for these odd rocks, creating a captivating story for them. The hollows in the Thick Stone Skirt Reef area were once used by ancient people for salt production, and due to the favorable geographical and geological environment, it is highly favored by the residents. Indeed, the island makes full use of all its resources, truly deserving the title of Taiwan's only coral reef island.
