BA TRAI DAO Islet

 To arrive at Ba Trai Dao Islet, one of the most well-known attractions of Halong Bay is the complex of three interesting mountains located 22 km away to the south of Bai Chay Tourist Wharf. From afar, the three of them magically resemble the image of three giant peaches - a fact that accounts for the name "Ba Trai Dao" which literally means three peaches in Vietnamese.

The height of up to 23 meters gives the islet a majestic beauty.

Titov Island (Đảo Ti Tốp) (Panoramic view of Halong Bay from Titov Island's peak - Source: fotopedia.com)

Titov Island is situated about 7-8km south-east of Bai Chay. The island is noted for a beautiful crescent-shaped beach that's popular with swimmers and water sports enthusiasts. You may also hike 420 steps up to a pavilion at the summit for a panoramic view of Halong Bay. It also displays sand that has been washed to a snowy white by the tide.

Small though it might be, Titov Beach wins kudos for its quiet and airy atmosphere, its clean and clear waters, as well as its alluring landscape. At present, there has a bar in the island which also provides swimming costumes, floats and lukewarm shower. Fresh water was carried to the island from inland.

Ga Choi Islet

Ga Choi Islet means Fighting Cock islet, a pair of limestone rocks right in the middle of the Bay. On the way to Sung Sot Cave (Surprise Cave), you will pass it. As you may not know, many people called this ‘Kissing Rocks’ because it looks like a pair of giant chicks about to kiss.
