INTRODUCTION
|
 Just
next to the famous Ha Long Bay, a world natural heritage, Bai
Tu Long (Baitulong) 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 (Quanlan) 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.
