Amazing rock masterpiece Ghenh Da Dia
|
Ghenh Da Dia (English called the Cliff of Stone Plates) is a special natural gift that Mother Nature has endowed to the central
coastal province of Phu Yen. It’s a masterpiece of stone that was recognized as a national heritage of Vietnam.
Stretching over 2,000 meters in length, Ghenh Da Dia is widening about 50 meters. It is estimated that there are 35,000 rock columns, standing in close position as if supernaturally placed, each of which has an average visible height of 60-80cm, cross-section of 20-30cm. The basalt cliffs are the result of ancient volcanic eruptions. When the molten basalt flows met the cool water they hardened and formed these rare polygonal columns.  The masterpiece of stone endowed to Phu Yen Ghenh Da Dia treasures a collection of interlocking basalt columns in a wide variety of differing shapes and sizes. Thanks to the dark lava hexagonal columns with flat surfaces resembling dinner plates, the cliffs have been named Ghenh Da Dia. Actually, locals consider Ghenh Da Dia as a fresh water pond, which is surrounded by rock columns. Particularly, the pond never dries up as it is said to be fed by underground rivers. Why don’t you spend your leisure time visiting the central Vietnam and dropping in Phu Yen province to sit on a rock column and let the senses take in the high sky and the immense sea and breathe cool fresh air from the sea? It must be great time to relax and escape from troubles. |
