This is currently the only world heritage site in Palau, and it is a dual heritage of world culture and nature.

The "Rock Islands-Southern Lagoon", a Micronesia site covering an area of 100200 hectares, consists of 445 uninhabited, volcanic limestone islands, many of which take on a unique mushroom-like shape and are surrounded by pine green lagoons and coral reefs. The complex coral reef system with more than 385 species of corals and various biological habitats adds more aesthetic value to this heritage.

The coral reef system here also provides habitat for a diverse variety of plants, birds and other marine life, such as manatees and at least 13 species of sharks. Nowhere else in the world is as dense as this heritage site with a large number of sea lakes, which are marine bodies separated from the ocean by a land barrier. These are some of the unique characteristics of the Rock Islands. It is home to a large number of unique and local species, and there are many more new species waiting for further exploration.

Lake Milk Lake is a distinctive tourist attraction in Palau. It is actually not a freshwater lake. It is just a small sea area between small islands. It is just a terrain and looks like a lake. In ancient times, this was an area with frequent volcanic activity. Volcanic ash after volcanic eruptions deposited on the lake bottom, forming a thick layer of volcanic mud over the years. Because Palau's seawater is extremely transparent, the volcanic mud deposited at the bottom of the lake makes the seawater blue-green with a little milky white. In addition, the soft white volcanic mud at the bottom of the lake looks like milk, so it is called Milk Lake.

Although volcanic activity has been suspended, the bottom of the lake is still seeping into underwater hot springs, giving the water of Milk Lake a faint sulfur smell. Volcanic mud containing minerals has a good beauty effect. Call it a "lake", but in fact it is a small isolated bay in the sea, surrounded by mountains on three sides, leaving a gap connected to the open sea. The bottom of the lake is volcanic ash that has been deposited for tens of thousands of years. It contains many natural mineral components. Together with the microorganisms with bactericidal effects in the seawater, it becomes an all-natural and excellent skin care product.
