Enjoy peace on Hon Dau island

(VOV) -About 1 km away from Do Son Peninsula, Hon Dau Island is a popular tourist destination thanks to its natural beauty, fresh air, and primary forests.

A 30-minute cruise will take you from Nghieng Harbor to the island.

The island enjoys fresh air thanks to a well-preserved primeval forest.

There are a number of ancient trees with trunks that need several people to reach around, and shades that shield people from the sun across their ways on the island.

Another popular tourist attraction on the island is Nam Hai Than Vuong (God of the Southern Sea) Temple.

Local fishermen come to the temple to wish for luck and peace during their offshore fishing.

Haiphong locals call Hon Dau as The Island of Light as its old lighthouse has witnessed various important historical events.

Hon Dau Lighthouse was designed by a French architect and was built during 1892-1898.

Hon Dau Light is believed to be able to spread out in all directions within a distance of 40 kms to guide boats operating in the sea area day and night.
