Vase Rock Introduction

The Vase Rock, which rises above the water due to coral reef stones being pushed up by tectonic movements, has been eroded by the sea, giving it the appearance of a vase, from which it derives its name. If you look closely at the top of the rock, you'll find clusters of green plants that seem like small grasses tossed atop the mouth of the vase, creating a charming and whimsical shape. However, from different angles, you may find that its form resembles not a vase, but rather an alluring mushroom or the head of a person wearing a silly straw hat. Regardless of how the shape of Vase Rock changes, it remains a beautiful focal point. The beach here is clean, the water clear and transparent, and the ecological system of the reefs is truly alluring, which is why many people choose to engage in diving activities in the waters surrounding Vase Rock. For those who are not enthusiastic about diving, they can still enjoy the fun of splashing in the water. During low tide, the reefs around Vase Rock also emerge from the sea, allowing you to step into the shallow water, being careful to tread over the slippery rocks, bringing the Vase Rock that was once just a few feet away right into view. Do you know the advantage of playing in the water next to Vase Rock? The advantage is "avoidance of sun exposure." With Vase Rock standing nearly nine meters tall, it naturally casts a shadow on its backside under the blazing sun, and that shade is quite precious. During the sweltering summer, being able to float in the refreshing sea water is delightful, but the beach is usually wide open and unprotected, which can lead to being harshly sunburned while enjoying the water. Therefore, when you engage in water activities around Vase Rock, don't forget this little summer refuge. Visiting during high tide isn't suitable for wading, but simply admiring Vase Rock from a distance offers a different charm. By using the imagination of distance, you can leave behind a "real" picture of "embracing the vase in the sea" and "organizing the grass in the vase," which equally adds a rich and interesting aesthetic experience to your journey.
