Vase Rock Introduction
Vase Rock, formed by coral reef stones that emerged above the water surface due to tectonic movements, has been shaped by repeated erosion from the sea, giving it the appearance reminiscent of a vase. At the top of the rock, clusters of green plants grow, resembling small grasses casually tossed into the bottle's opening, creating a charming and unique shape. However, upon closer observation from different angles, one might find that its shape resembles more of an alluring mushroom or the head of a person wearing a comical straw hat. Regardless of its varying appearances, Vase Rock remains a focal point of beauty. The beach here is clean, the water is crystal clear, and the reef ecology is highly desirable. Therefore, many people choose to engage in diving activities in the waters around Vase Rock. For those less interested in diving, there’s still plenty of fun to be had splashing in the water. During low tide, the rocks around Vase Rock also emerge from the sea, allowing visitors to step into the shallows while carefully navigating the slippery rock surfaces, bringing them closer to Vase Rock, which seems almost within reach. Do you know the benefit of playing in the water next to Vase Rock? The advantage is “avoiding the harsh sunlight.” With Vase Rock standing nearly nine meters tall, a shadow is naturally cast on its back in the blazing sun, making this shade incredibly precious. On scorching hot summer days, basking in the cool sea water is a delightful experience, but the beach is usually open and exposed, meaning one can easily be sunburned from relentless sunlight while enjoying the water. So, when engaging in wave-dodging activities around Vase Rock, don't forget this little oasis of shade. When high tide comes, swimming might not be suitable, but observing Vase Rock from a distance offers a different charm. By using imaginative distance, one can capture the “real” scenes of “a bottle embraced by the sea” and “arranging grasses in the bottle,” which can equally enhance the aesthetic experience of the journey.
