Scenic Landscapes 4

Location: In the itinerary of Thien Cung – Dau Go – Ti Top, one finds Dinh Huong Islet or Lu Huong (Incense Burner Islet) to the southwest of Dau Go Island.

Characteristics: Passing the Cho Da (Stone Dog) Islet and the Con Meo (Cat) Islet, one sees an imposing stone slab resting on two other small stones stands blocked the way.

The stone slab resembles a huge incense burner, which lies in the middle of the sea as a holy object to worship the Sky and Earth.

Ngon Tay Islet

Location: On the way to Ti Top Island, visitors see a stone rock resembling a thump jutting out of the sea.

Characteristics: Nature has put the Ngon Tay (Finger) Islet here as a reminder of many interesting extras in the discovery of Halong.
