INTRODUCTION

Just next to the famous Ha Long Bay, a world natural heritage, Bai Tu Long Bay is not any the less beautiful with hundreds of islets rising from the clear water and long smooth sand banks.
After admiring the beauty of the limestone rocks in numerous interesting shapes and discovering deep caves or mangrove forests by boat, visitors still have much more to see on Quan Lan Island with pristine beauty featuring unspoiled environment. The deep blue sea has strong waves and white sand beaches, which span over several kilometers. Some distance away from the beach stand the very green wild pines, further add to its original charm.
Meanwhile, Cua Ong temple is famous as one of the most sacred places in Vietnam. The temple is built in Van Don district, in the middle of the mountains, facing Bai Tu Long Bay.
