Waiting Husband Reef

19878 Update Date:2023-10-30
There is a sad, yet beautiful legend regarding the Waiting Husband Reef. It is said that there was a loving couple near the Seven Beauties Tomb, and the husband went out fishing every day. He would  leave early in the morning and return late at night. The wife would also wait by the sea every evening for her husband to return. One day, when she was still waiting, a storm suddenly occurred and the waves were fearsome, she waited the entire night in panic. The second day, she went to the south-end sound of the Yueili Port and waited for the entire day. She wanted to see her husband return home safe and sound, but he didn’t. Even in despite of what others told her, she still just waited by the sea. By the end of the third day, she finally collapsed by the south-end of the Yueili Port at night, and when others found her, it was already too late! After countless years, the rock by the sea miraculously took the shape of a human form. The amazing part is that the stone had a bulging belly, just like a pregnant woman. The later generations all believe that this is the image of the woman who waited night and day for her husband to return. If you climb onto the Waiting Husband Reef, then you can watch the boats and seabirds from a distance.  Continue down the path and there is a small concrete bridge. When you look down from the bridge, if the waves are big enough, you will be able to see the beautiful yet fierce waves clashing against the coast. It is also an important fishing ground in Qi mei.
