Gành Đá Đĩa

About this location

Gành Đá Đĩa - Unique Basalt Structure by the East Sea Located in Phu Hanh Village, Tuy An Dong Commune, Dak Lak Province, Ganh Da Dia is a Special National Scenic Spot featuring a distinctive columnar basalt system formed by volcanic activity. Monument records indicate approximately 11,500 rock columns, predominantly with five- or six-sided cross-sections. The prominent value of this location lies in its geological structure, the interaction between basalt and ocean waves, and the coastal landscape. The area also houses the Da Dia Mausoleum, dedicated to the South Sea God (Nam Hai / Ong Fish) worshipped by the local fishing community, built around the mid-19th century, adding a layer of cultural value to the imagery. From a filmmaking perspective, the basalt columns, sea surface, stepped terrain, and horizon provide strong visual material for documentaries, science-nature films, and feature films requiring coastal, geological, or maritime cultural exterior scenes.
