Here you can admire the thatched huts built by the Yami people half underground. Please be sure to respect the local culture when entering this place. Tourists entering the village for sightseeing should be polite and respect the local culture so as not to offend the taboos. Wukong Cave is named after five huge sea caves, of which the fourth and fifth caves can be connected. On the cliff beside the cave are inlaid traditional handmade pottery figurines depicting biblical stories, which is a manifestation of the craftsmanship of the Yami people. The strange rock landscape of Lanyu has been weathered and eroded by sea water for many years, forming many unique reefs, including Crocodile Rock, Tank Rock, Jade Girl Rock, Hen Rock, Frog Rock, Double Lion Rock, Helmet Rock, Elephant Trunk Rock and Longtou Rock and many more.
