Attracations |
Bird Sanctuary, Ha Tien (1) is where
Travellers hoping to capture the magic of
the land in South Viêtnam, where many heroic
historical places such as imperial tombs and
ancient pagodas can be visited.
Ha Tien is such a delightful location that a
French film company chose it to produce the
movie "L'amant" (The Lover) in 1995.
There are several attractions in the area:
Thach Dong stone grotto, a piece of green
stone emerging from the ground; Chong stone;
Hon Phu Tu, Father and Son rocks which lie
approximately 100 metres offshore; and Hang
Pagoda.
A boat ride away are the Hai Tac islets, 16
islets around which the water is 4 metres
deep. On the coast of Hon Doc, the largest
islet, is a magnificent white sand beach
running towards the sea.
Near Hon Chong Beach is Tien Cave that has 2
openings; the east door on the sea and the
west door, opening on Duoc Beach. In the
cave are many oddly shaped stone drops, some
suggesting Nguyen King’s gold throne.
Hon Trem Beach, 1000 metres from Hon Chong
Beach offers the nicest white sand in Ha
Tien. Hang Pagoda is also very interesting.
This pagoda, 40 metres underground, somber
and foggy, echoes the sounds of the pagoda’s
bell on the stone drops.
Phu Quoc Island (2), the largest
island in Viêtnam, lies in the Gulf of
Thailand, 45 kilometres from Ha Tien, 15 kilometres
south of the coast of Cambodia. It is also
part of an archipelago comprising 22 islands
of all sizes. The island covers an area of
585 square kilometres and 50 kilometres
long.
The population increases significantly in
the last twenty years; there are 55,000
people inhabiting the island now an increase
from 5,000 people in 1975.
Phu Quoc is also called the Emerald Island
because of its natural treasures and
infinite tourism potential.
The island is well known for its
high-quality fish sauce or nuoc mum;
Phu Quoc fish sauce smells particularly good
since it is made from a small fish, ca com,
with a high level of protein. The island
produces 6-million litres of fish sauce
every year.
Phu Quoc Island has many harbours such as An
Thoi and Hon Thom where international and
domestic ships ride at anchor.
There are several historical sites on the
island: National Hero Nguyen Trung Truc's
military base, Gia Long King relics from the
time he spent on the island, and Phu Quoc
prison.
Off the coast of the island emerges a group
of 105 islands of all sizes. Some of them
are densely inhabited such as Hon Tre and
Kien Hai, 25 kilometres from Rach Gia.
Travellers can spend time on the beach or
hike while observing the wild animals.
