Located in An Ninh Dong commune, Tuy An district, Phu Yen province, Ghenh Da Dia is a natural columnar forming a very rare type of rocks. The cliffs are dark lava hexagonal columns with flat surfaces, resembling dinner plates. That gives rise to its name - Ghenh Da Dia.

Ghenh Da Dia was generated when volcano erupted lava into the sea. The lava touching the cold water were freeze, along with displacement, so the entire block of lava cracked multidimensional that created the interesting landscape today. Another story is that giant prismatic rocks were stacked cleverly by the hand of giant gods. However, this natural wonder still keeps inside a mythical story about a treasure turning into stone.

Ghenh Da Dia is about 50m wide and stretches over 2,000m long. Each column has an average visible height of 60-80cm, cross-section of 20-30cm. It is estimated that there are around 35,000 rock columns standing in close position as if they were closely put together by a supernatural hand. Looking from a distance, visitors may even liken Ghenh Da Dia to a huge beehive.

Ghenh Da Dia, half submerged below the surface of the sea, eroded by the ocean waves over the years, become extremely black and had pock-marked imprints of time. It is worth noting that Ghenh Da Dia is a fresh water pond surrounded by rock columns. The pond is said to be fed by underground rivers and never dries up. It is really fantastic to sit on rock columns there to feel and see the high sky and the immense sea, breathe cool, and fresh air from the sea.
