It is said that the reason for this landscape named Ganh Yen is due to many small holes of reefs, which bear resemblance with birds' shelter. They sit layer by layer, layer upon layer and create a towering cliff stretching out to the sea.

The combination of sky, clouds, water and black stones with thousands of odd shapes makes a wonderful picture of nature. According to locals, these layers may be resulted from a volcanic eruption millions of years ago.
