Ganh Da Dia (The Cliff of Stone Plates)

About this location

Ganh Da Dia - A unique basalt structure by the East Sea. Ganh Da Dia, located in Phu Hanh Village, An Dong Commune, Dak Lak Province, is a special national scenic site. It features a characteristic system of columnar basalt formed by volcanic activity; heritage records indicate approximately 11,500 stone columns, primarily with five or six-sided cross-sections. The outstanding value of this filming location lies in its geological structure, the interaction between basalt rock and ocean waves, and the coastal landscape. The area also houses the Da Dia Mausoleum, dedicated to the worship of the Whale Deity (Ca Ong) by the local fishing community, built around the mid-19th century, which adds a layer of cultural value to the visuals. Cinematically, the system of stone columns, the sea surface, the topographical steps, and the horizon provide strong visual material for documentaries, science-nature films, and feature films requiring coastal, geological, or maritime cultural settings.
