Blessed with the natural geological wonder of columnar joints, Yangnam’s columnar joints are characterized by diverse types of formations grouped and clustered along the 1.7km long shoreline. 

You can seee over 10 meter high stone columns, columnar joints resembling stacks of timber or a woman’s pleated skirt.
