At first glance, many travelers find it challenging to distinguish between Ghenh Da Dia and Giant’s Causeway, as these two famous locations share strikingly similar angles.
Prominent destinations in Vietnamese tourism mirroring foreign counterparts
Vietnam, blessed by nature, boasts enchanting, glamorous landscapes comparable to world-renowned destinations.
1. Ghenh Da Dia – the pathway of Giants
Ghenh Da Dia (Ganh Da Dia) stands as a fascinating natural wonder in terms of both scenery and unique geological features in Phu Yen province, Vietnam.
Glistening Rock Array is an enchanting assembly of contiguous prism-shaped stone pillars, standing tall on an expansive mysterious black rock bed, bordered by the rhythmic waves. Viewed from a distance, Glistening Rock resembles a colossal naturally-formed beehive.
Many first-time visitors to Glistening Rock Array are not only amazed by the beauty of this place but also find it reminiscent of another famous landmark worldwide. That would be the Giant’s Causeway, a coastal area in Northern Ireland.
Similar to Glistening Rock Array, this coastal area attracts numerous tourists and researchers alike. The rocky hive-like structure is the 'home' to gigantic hexagonal black basalt columns, neatly stacked upon one another.
2. The Self-Splitting Sea in Vung Tau – South Korea
Hon Ba is a small island nestled in the vast open sea near Vung Tau, located 200 meters from Nghinh Phong Cape.
In the afternoon, during the lowest tide, the sea in this area naturally splits, revealing a pebble pathway leading from the sandy shore to Hon Ba Island. At this time, visitors can leisurely stroll on the sea, feel the strong sea breeze, and the cool refreshing water beneath their feet. However, remember to return to the mainland before nightfall when the tide begins to rise, covering the pathway once again.
In the maritime regions of Jindo and Modo in South Korea, a peculiar phenomenon occurs every year: the sea unexpectedly splits, revealing a wide stone path connecting the two islands. This vast underwater road spends most of the year slumbering beneath the deep ocean.
However, two to three times a year (usually around March and June), it emerges above the water surface, becoming the most sought-after tourist attraction in Korea. According to locals, the path is approximately 2.9 km long and 40 meters wide.
3. Ha Long Bay – Phang Nga Bay
Ha Long Bay is a pride of the Northern region, and Vietnam tourism in general. This UNESCO-recognized heritage site attracts international tourists every year.
One of the unique features of Ha Long Bay is the limestone mountains surrounding the bay and the majority of limestone islands.
Phang Nga Bay in Thailand is often likened to Ha Long Bay, boasting over 40 islands and limestone mountains, accompanied by pristine turquoise waters and charming landscapes.
