Tank Rock Introduction
Tank Rock is a rocky wonder located by the coral reef coast, resembling a tank with its surface covered in green algae. The rock features large holes that visitors may be lucky enough to see local cattle and sheep wandering through, creating a breathtaking scenery. Lanyu's geological layers are primarily composed of hornblende andesitic lava and basaltic agglomerate, along with Pleistocene red soil layers, uplifted coral reefs, and Holocene alluvial and colluvial deposits, all of which have shaped Lanyu's most fascinating rock formations through natural erosion and weathering processes. In addition to Tank Rock, other famous rock formations on Lanyu include Red Head Rock, Crocodile Rock, Twin Lion Rock, Dragon Head Rock, Old Man Rock, Elephant Nose Rock, Hen Rock, Five Holes Cave, Maiden Rock, Helmet Rock, Battleship Rock, and Steamed Bun Rock.
