Fighting Cock Island - The symbol of Halong Bay
Fighting Cock Island or Ga Choi Island in Vietnamese is a pair of limestone islet. After cruising about 30 minutes from Tuan Chau Harbor, you will pass it. Rather than fighting cocks, the limestone formation looked more like a pair of chicken about to kiss. Let come and have your own idea.
“In a somewhat large expanse of open sea, the island seems to grow up from the bottom of the deep emerald waters. At sunset, the island with the height of over 10 m is bright red and in a somewhat tottery position. Their tiny legs support heavy bodies, and it appears that one strong wave could throw the two stone blocks into the sea. However, hundreds of millions of years have passed, and the Ga Choi Island is still there. The image of the islet is the logo of Halong Bay and Vietnam Tourism”

November 22, 1962, this tiny island had the honour of receiving a visit from astronaut Ghermann Titov, a hero of the former Soviet Union, accompanied by President Ho Chi Minh. To perpetuate the remembrance of their visit, Uncle Ho named the place Titov Island. It has now become an attractive beach for tourists and has various of tourist services.
Thirty-five years afterwards, on June 27, 1997, Titov returned to the island having his name. Deeply moved, he wrote in the souvenir book of the Management Board of Halong Bay: "My deepest thanks to destiny, which has allowed me to come back to this tiny island". It has become a beach attracting many visitors.
From about 14km east of Bai Chay is Titov Beach. It takes the shape of a crescent encompassing the island. Small though it might be, it 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. Titov Beach has become a popular tourist destination.

Characteristics: It is one of the finest and widest grottoes of Halong Bay.
Characteristics: It is one of the finest and widest grottoes of Halong Bay.
Ascending to the grotto, the way is covered by trees and foliage and consists of great paved stone blocks. Inside, it is partitioned into two chambers; the first one being similar to a wide theatre hall. Many stalactites hang from the high ceiling, with numerous possible forms and shapes. From the wharf, you climb 50 steep stone stairs to the mouth of the grotto, which lies 25m above the sea level. Going down some 10 stone stairs, you reach the mouth of a grotto. The grotto covers some 10,000m2. Inside the grotto there have thousands of stalactites and stalagmites along the 500-meter paved passage.
A narrow passage leads to the second rooms, where a flow of light meets visitors. Light posts line the passage and serve as signposts and ornaments. The lighting system with elegant styles adds more charm to the beauty of the grotto. The chamber is so immense it could contain thousands of people at one time.
At the deepest point of the grotto, a "royal garden" appears with a clear pond and a seemingly fascinating landscape of mountains. Many birds and plants (benjamin figs, cycads and centenary banyan trees) live here. On nice days groups of monkeys might arrive in search of fruit.
Up in the 30-meter roof of the grotto, one can figure out small, soft and even concave spots, which look like patterns in the ceiling of a theater. A huge piece of stone stands up to the ceiling by the grotto’s mouth. This evidences one of the typical karst-style grottoes with high scientific values.
At the side of the entrance, the rock seems to form the shape of a horse with a long sword. Legend has it, that after having defeated the An aggressors, Thanh Dong (Saint Dong) helped the population to chase away evil spirits and demons. After this feat, Saint Dong flew to heaven, leaving a stone horse and sword to continue to keep the demons away.

Cua Van floating village
Location: Van Gia – Cua Van is situated at Hung Thang Commune, Halong City, 20km away from the tourist boat wharf, the fishing village lies in a calm bay surrounded by mountain.
However, it is totally different from other villages. It has no busy lanes or streets, no electric lines and no houses or high buildings; instead, there are groups of little boats and rafts bobbing up and down on the waves.
Visitors here are lured in by the beautiful fishing village images - little houses on boats, groups of boats tied together to defend against storms and typhoons, the simple and honest fishermen and the sunburnt faces of the innocent little children. It is all peaceful and charming.
Cua Van Village is home to about 200 households with nearly 800 people. They all earn their living through fishing and aquaculture. For one hundreds of years, the residents have settled here.
Together with three other fishing villages in the area: Vong Vieng, Cong Tau and Ba Hang, Cua Van has built up a distinctive native culture among the fishing communities that can't be mistaken with any other. Cultural products from the village are all very colourful, from hat giao duyen (provincial love duet songs), hat cheo duong (songs along the way), hat dam cuoi (provincial wedding songs) and ho bien (songs sung out to the boats), to home remedies for sea travellers, unique nautical experiences and other typical manners and customs of the fishermen.
With an outstanding lifestyle and the most crowded population in the fishing zone, Cua Van Village is considered the "capital" of the World Heritage Area. That's why it was selected as the location of the first "floating cultural centre" in Vietnam.
Covering an area of over 300sq.m, the Cua Van Floating Cultural Centre was the first project launched in the village.
Implemented by the Ha Long Ecological Museum and funded by the Norwegian Government, the centre is regarded as the Government's initial effort in preserving the village's intangible heritage. And after three years of construction, the centre was finally opened in 2006.
Since its opening, the Cua Van Floating Cultural Centre has done well in collecting and introducing hundreds of archaeological items, including the tools ancient people used to catch sea products, along with photographs and documentary films concerning the village's folklore and the lives of the fishermen living on Ha Long Bay, presently and in days past.
