When
speaking of the beautiful islands of
Hạ Long Bay, one must speak of Bồ
Hòn Island or Soap-Berry Tree
Island, not only because of its
splendid scenery, but also as it is
one of the largest in the area.
There are many grottoes located
here, such as the Surprise, Luồn,
Virgin and Male grottoes. There is
also a concentration of high
mountains with vertical cliffs like
citadel wall; mountains follow
closely make a huge beautiful
watercolour picture on the sea.
French call this island Les
Surprises. There are various species
of plants such as benjamin fig
trees, cycads and orchids... and
animals are monkeys, deer and
chamois. Perhaps, Bồ Hòn Island
famous for the grotto system hiding
inside it. Each of them has their
own marvellous beauty and is related
to the moved legends.
