Introduction
About 500 years ago, the North Atlantic Plate and the European continent separated, causing intense crustal movement and underwater volcanic eruptions. The hot magma met the cold seawater and solidified, eventually forming the spectacular landscape known as the "Giant's Causeway." The landscape consists of tens of thousands of irregularly arranged basalt columns, with varying heights, the tallest being over 12 meters high, and a total length of several kilometers. In 1986, it was declared a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site. Geologists have found that the natural stairs were formed by volcanic eruptions, with volcanic lava spilling out and crystallizing repeatedly. The seawater washed away small rock particles, forming the uneven columnar jointed basalt terrain.
Legend has it that the Irish giant built a road out of stones in the sea to plunder the Scottish giant's treasures by passing through Scotland. However, the Scottish giant was angry and went to retaliate along the road. The Irish giant dressed up as a baby and hid in a cave. When the Scottish giant saw the baby in the cave, he thought the Irish giant was incredibly powerful and fled in a panic, destroying the road as he went. What remains today is the Giant's Causeway that we see. The visitor center provides Chinese audio guide service to help tourists understand the history and cultural background of the attraction.
