On the
south-east side of Hạ Long Bay,
about 25 km from Bãi Cháy Wharf,
Cống Ðỏ is in Bái Tử Long Bay in the
region which recognised 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 Vân Ðồn
were discovered. This confirms
beliefs that Cống Ðỏ Island once
held an important position in terms
of foreign trade.
