The first sight of Da Dia Cliffs is breathtaking. The 50- meter-high rock wall extends for two kilometers through mountains that reach down to an emerald sea where fishing boats lie at anchor in the distance.
Geologists say that the rock walls were formed 200 million years ago after a volcanic eruption occured in the Van Hoa mountain range 30 kilometers away.
But that doesn’t explain why there are two different cliffs forming the shape of a human hand dipping into the sea. The hexagonal rocks make a striking picture as they jut out of the water at all angles and heights.
There is also a rocky hill split in two by a stream where the basalt blocks lie horizontally and are covered in moss, as well as a temple farther along, and a lovely beach where you can hire a small boat or just go for a dip.
Since it takes several hours to get the most out of Da Dia Cliffs, be sure to pack plenty of food and drinking water.
