Van Don Island
District, 150km from Halong City. The Quang Ninh

Island includes 40 large and small islands, of which the
three largest are large Co To, Thanh Lan and Tran.

sunset, bright moon and dim moon. Beaches in the large Co To
Island are deserted and not polluted by modern industrial
society. Trinh Sat Beach is typical with white sands and
blue water as clear as crystal.
The forest is
also appropriate for ecotourism tours. You can walk or catch
"xe om" (motorbike taxi) to visit a lighthouse on
a high hill. It's about 10 minutes by "xe om"
