Subsequently, after about <strong>6,000 years of erosion<\/strong> Due to the sea waves and strong winds, the rock with weak cohesion gradually eroded, creating the magnificent natural rock arch seen today.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, the stone gate is approximately <strong>2.5 million<\/strong> and a length of approximately <strong>9 meters<\/strong>. Its shape is quite similar to a wasp's nest, so the locals affectionately call this place <strong>To Vo Gate<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Standing before that scene, many tourists could not help but marvel at the magic of nature.
