Bai Tu Long Bay in the region which recognized as the
World Heritage. It has an area of 23,363 sq. m, and its
mountain reaches a peak of 172 m. The island features
many lagoons, which are the residence of numerous
species of sea-life, such as shrimp, crab, fish, squid
and aquatic plants. On the south-west side of the
island, there is a wide coral reef displaying a myriad
of colours.
Coral reef ecosystem is more than 700 m long and 300 m
wide. It is preserved almost undamaged. In the future,
there are plans for the development of a zone for
scuba-diving. On the south-east side of the island,
vestiges of the ancient commercial port of Van Don were
