Straw Cutter Rock

   

   The bottom of this granite columnar is connected while the top is separated, looking like a straw cutter. And that’s why it’s so named. It was formed when the granite body was cut by two sets of diagonal fractures (joints) and further underwent differential weathering and gravitational collapse.
