烈女義坑 - Women's Martyrs' Grave Introduction
The magnificent and tragic cliff is located on the eastern side of Dongyin Island, behind Tianwang Bay. It is a nearly vertical natural sea-eroded cliff that rises almost a hundred meters high, imposing and breathtaking. It is said that during the late Qing Dynasty, pirates often plagued the islands in the Fujian Sea, causing great suffering among the people. One day, pirates raided Dongyin, and a fisherman was killed by them. His wife fled to this sea-eroded cliff, with no way to retreat. The pirates sought to abduct and violate her, but she resisted fiercely. Choosing to end her life by jumping off the cliff to preserve her chastity, later generations commemorated her bravery by naming the site "The Cliff of the Loyal Woman." The terrain of The Cliff of the Loyal Woman is steep, with the words "Loyalty and Bravery Last Through the Ages" carved into the cliff face. A walkway extends down to the bay, leading to The Cliff of the Loyal Woman. Visitors can walk along the railing path to a viewing platform, where they can stop and gaze at the sheer height of the cliff, over a hundred meters above the sea, with protruding rock formations that remind one of the woman's courage. On the west side of The Cliff of the Loyal Woman lies a rock known as "Loyal Woman Rock," named for a woman who sat awaiting her husband's return, and it is one of Dongyin's unique giant rock landscapes. Note: The area is subject to strong winds and rugged terrain; please pay attention to your safety.
