Daguaye Columnar Basalt Introduction

During the Japanese rule, a wharf was built along the coast of Da'ao Bay to facilitate maritime traffic between Magong and Xiyu. While excavating stone and soil, the magnificent columnar basalt, which had been buried in the ground and sleeping for thousands of years, was unexpectedly discovered. It can be considered one of the easily accessible columnar basalts on Penghu Island.
