Discover Hon Co Island – A Hidden Gem in Bai Tu Long Bay
If you’re exploring Halong Bay, don’t miss Hon Co Island, also known as Grass Island. Located in the heart of Cong Do Nature Reserve, this peaceful spot is surrounded by clear waters and stunning limestone islets. Despite its beauty, Hon Co remains relatively undiscovered, making it a perfect escape from the city’s hustle.
Visitors can enjoy activities like swimming, kayaking, and relaxing on its long, white sandy beaches. The island’s lush greenery covers towering stone cliffs, providing a natural habitat for wildlife.
Explore Thien Canh Son Cave
One of the highlights of Hon Co Island is Thien Canh Son Cave, known for its breathtaking rock formations. To reach the cave, you’ll climb about 100 stone steps through rugged cliffs and dense foliage. Inside, you’ll find glittering stalactites and rock formations shaped like flowers, dragons, and even a baby elephant. After exploring, step outside to enjoy panoramic views of Halong Bay and Bai Tu Long Bay.
A Must-Visit Destination
Hon Co Island is perfect for nature lovers and photographers looking to capture stunning landscapes. To protect its natural beauty, a stone pathway has been built for visitors to explore without harming the environment.
