The stone pillars of different sizes are stacked side by side, and the sight of them is quite spectacular! After I came back and checked the information, I found out that the basalt columnar volcanic joints here were formed in the late tertiary or quaternary centuries, 2.5 million years ago. It is formed by the intermittent eruption of volcanoes, and the weathering of magma after cooling. It makes people sigh at the magic of nature!

Although the scenic area has made certain plans, some netizens said that the basalt columnar joints are still relatively fragile.
