The type of rock forming Ghềnh Đá Đĩa is basalt, formed over 200 million years ago. Today, experts believe that when the volcanoes in the Vân Hòa plateau were active, streams of lava met cold water, causing the rocks to crack and form stunning stone slabs. Nowadays, when you visit Ghềnh Đá Đĩa, you'll witness numerous rock columns of various shapes, from hexagons and circles to stacked squares, forming a solid structure.
