Disc Rock rapids, a "unique" natural heritage in Vietnam

Translated by Bing
Disc Rock Rapids was formed by volcanic eruptive activity. The lava flow burns hot when encountering the cold heat of frozen sea water, forming unique rock slabs on the coast of Tuy An district, Phu Yen province.

Ganh Da Dia or Ganh Da Dia is located in An Ninh Dong commune, Tuy An district of Phu Yen province. From Tuy Hoa city, follow National Highway 1A to the north for about 30 km, to Chi Thanh town, turn right to the east about 12 km to reach Da Dia rapids. You can also follow the coastal route from Tuy Hoa to Disc Rock rapids which is about 35 km long.


Disc Rock rapids are about 50 m wide and stretch more than 200 m, is one of the beautiful landscapes of Phu Yen land. From above, the rapids can be seen with hexagonal face rocks, fastened together like a giant piece of beeswax regularly, creating a solid whole with glossy black color. This particular rapids are formed when volcanoes pour lava into the sea. The hot lava flow met the frozen cold sea, along with the phenomenon of stress stress, so the entire lava mass was multidimensionally fractured, creating an interesting landscape today.



After hundreds of years of climate change, the waves of the sea are still plying white foam by the pristine rapids. The rapids stack high and low and you can easily get close to the edge of the sea, where the waves lap, for a beautiful panoramic view of the blue sea. Going deep down the rapids, encountered a cave deep into the foot of the mountain, foaming white. In the distance is Bang Beach with clear water imprinted with clouds and sky. When walking around this magnificent natural landscape, you will discover things that seem familiar but very interesting here. These are small creatures that hide in depressions between rapids. Come on moss, seaweed, shrimp, fish, crabs, sometimes even jellyfish and starfish follow the tidal waves that wash up here.



A visit to the Disc Rock rapids, take the time to visit the ancient Mong Lang Church at the beginning of the entrance, walk slowly through peaceful villages and catch the winds blowing non-stop from the Disc Rock rapids.


You can also run to Bang beach to swim and enjoy delicious cheap seafood. Some takeout food allows you to picnic right on the rocks along the rapids and don't forget to clean up right after. Disc Rock rapids are pristine but impressive with interesting shapes of nature, one of the tourist destinations worth visiting in Phu Yen province.
