Especially when the tides are back, the whole lotus base will emerge totally overlook it from Groups of Basalt Stony Pole, it is like a lotus emerged from the water if at the time of sunset and with gold light left together, the whole picture is so beautiful without words to describe! Take a close look at the lotus base after ebb, it is composed of basalt and circles surrounded with basalt at the center area is the sea water left from the high tide, but that is absolutely not mud, but a genuine basalt eroded by sea water only.
