Its unique geology, combined with marine erosion and weathering, has resulted in many diverse and legend-filled rock formations around Lanyu. Among them, Hongtou Rock, due to its resemblance to the profile of a human head, appears like a red skull floating on the sea under the setting sun's crimson glow. Viewed from the side of the cliff, it also resembles the Native Americans known as "Red Men," from which it derives its name. Lanyu was formerly known as Hongtou Island for this reason.
