Although small park area, but has a world-class acidic volcanic rock columns, also demonstrated during the Paleozoic 500 million to 2,000 million years to 250 million years ago, a period of geological history depositional environment is formed by deposition, very typical and rare sex. Wherein a column containing a high volcanic siliceous acidic rhyolitic volcanic rocks, within a range of 100 square kilometers (sea part), an average diameter of 1.2 m, both in terms of size and rock characteristics are called rare in the world, more particularly the at the same time show the volcanic tuff and lava features, how it is formed, geologists are still mixed views, great scientific value. In addition, the formation of a role in this coastal erosion and deposition of a variety of landforms, where the fossil for understanding ancient Paleozoic environment, geography, climate and biological evolution provides a clue.
