Da Dian rapids - the "flawless" beauty of Phu Yen

Translated by Bing
Not only attractive at first sight by the uniquely shaped stone blocks, Da Dian rapids also impress visitors with the colors that change continuously throughout the day according to sunlight.

When dawn rises, the jet-black rocks are covered with the brilliant yellow of the sun's rays at the beginning of the day. And when the sunset falls, the red glow of the afternoon light dyes the stones pink. Therefore, each moment in Da Dian rapids will bring visitors different emotions. And it would be great if visitors could set foot on each stone and experience the cool feeling under their feet when each wave of the sea rushes against the rocky outcrop, throwing white foam.



According to geological experts, Da Dian rapids were formed from volcanic eruptions. The lava flow is hot when it encounters the cold heat of the frozen seawater, forming unique rock slabs on the coast of Tuy An district.

 

Da Dian rapids are about 50 m wide and stretch more than 200 m, is one of the beautiful landscapes of Phu Yen. From above, you can see the sea encroachment area with hexagonal face stones, tightly attached to each other like a giant piece of beeswax at regular intervals, creating a solid whole with glossy black color. This particular rapids area was formed when the volcano poured lava into the sea. The hot lava flow meets the cold sea and freezes, along with the phenomenon of stress transfer, so the entire lava block is multi-dimensional fractured, creating an interesting landscape today.

 


Da Dian rapids are a collection of prismatic stone pillars arranged next to each other, one connecting the other next to the waves. The rocks spread out close to each other, sharing a mysterious black color. There are vertical pillars, some pillars are tilted but still piled up in layers that look like stacks of dishes and dishes, so it is called Ghenh Da Dia. From a distance, Ghenh Da looks like a giant natural beehive that is extremely magnificent.

 

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



When visiting this landmark, you can also move to other very beautiful but extremely close places such as Bai Bang with a white sand beach stretching under a wide canopy of bracken trees or Ganh Leng lighthouse with a beautiful location for you to observe the whole surrounding scenery from above. You can also visit Mang Lang Church – the oldest church in Vietnam built 120 years ago on the road from National Highway 1A to the city center.
