The most prominent attraction that every first-time visitor to Ha Long is Trong Mai Island, also known as Ga Choi Island. To visit the beauty of Hon Trong Mai, visitors will have to take a boat, there will be two options. Option 1, go to Tuan Chau international port to buy tickets to visit the bay and train tickets (large number of ships, with many types of tourism for tourists). Option 2, go to Ha Long international ship port to buy boat tickets and tickets to visit the bay (the port is located near Ha Long Park amusement park, but the number of ships here is less). When buying tickets, you should note, Hon Trong Mai is an attraction only available on sightseeing routes 1 and 5 of Ha Long Bay.

Hon Trong Mai is located near Dinh Huong Islet, formerly Hon Trong Mai was a small island, but after thousands of years of weathering, being affected by rain, sea and wind, the island slowly split into two, viewed from like two chickens with their beaks together. The local people later named it based on the shape of two rocky islands, this is the familiar naming of the people with the island in the bay such as: stone dog, frog island, incense peak ....

Hon Trong Mai is over 10m high, visitors will see on the back of each of these small islands there are a number of verdant plants, clinging to the rock holes that make the island alive, not a dead limestone block that lacks vitality. At high tide, the pair of chickens are very prominent in the immense sea, but at low tide, visitors will see the chicken's feet. It is the lower part of the rocky mountain that has been eroded by sea water, looking from afar, it looks like fragile chicken legs, as if it could fall into the water at any time. But no, the two islands are still standing, standing tall with the unyielding earth and sky like the character of the people here. The beauty of Hon Trong Mai has been chosen as the logo of Ha Long Bay and also chosen as the logo of the famous Ha Long beer brand. If you visit Ha Long Bay, remember not to miss this beautiful attraction.
