On the south-east side of Ha Long Bay,
about 25 km from Bai Cháy Wharf, Cong Do
is in Bái 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 Vân Don were
discovered. This confirms beliefs that
Cong Do Island once held an important
position in terms of foreign trade. |
