The road to Ganh Da Dia is a romantic road through rice fields, coconut trees along the road, a tiny market with vendors sitting and chatting. The road goes over a mountain edge, up and down, then to the village where stones are used to make floors, fences, walls or animal pens...
Nature is truly amazing, bestowing Phu Yen with a special place like Ganh Da Dia, which is made up of mostly rough, hexagonal stone slabs, stacked layer upon layer to form a towering cliff reaching out to the sea.
Formed when a volcano erupted lava into the sea, the rocks of Ganh Da Dia seem to have been arranged by the hand of God, patiently and meticulously stacking each rock on top of each other, fitting tightly in a honeycomb structure without any adhesive.
Next to Ganh Da Dia is Bai Bang, a beach with long stretches of white sand, shady trees, pure wildness and fresh, pleasant air, very suitable for camping or picnics. Sitting on the smooth rocks, listening to the murmuring sound of the waves, I also got to see a pretty little mountain made up of stone pillars.
Walking along the cliff, I also discovered a depression in the middle of the cliff with rainwater and seawater stagnating for a long time, creating a miniature world with crabs, shrimps, small fish... living. Walking around, I found another place, a deep and wide cave, this was where our soldiers stayed during the war. Thanks to this cave, our soldiers hid during the day, and at night they attacked and gave the enemy terrifying blows.
At Ganh Da Dia, I spent hours fishing for catfish, dia fish, vẩu fish... and with the local children went to pry open the "mai" - a type of clam that lives attached to the rocks, grilled with salt and green chili and enjoyed on the spot. If you have never been to Ganh Da Dia, it will be difficult to feel the whispers of the rocks, the waves sometimes murmuring like a love confession, sometimes roaring as if wanting to destroy everything... The rosy sunshine, cool breeze mixed with the rhythmic sound of the waves, in that scene, not only me but all the guests in the group were moved in their hearts.
