Cat Ba Island
Location: Cat Ba Island is situated
in Cat Hai District, Haiphong City.
Characteristics: Cat Ba Island is a
tourist spot, attractive for its natural beauty and wonders
endowed by nature.
 Taking
a ride on a car or train for two hours from Hanoi to Haiphong,
then on a high-speed vessel for another hour, visitors will
arrive at Cat Ba Island, the biggest island (100km²) out of the
366 islands on the Lan Ha Bay.
Right from the moment visitors set foot on Cat
Ba gangway, looking afar to contemplate the enchanting scenery of
immense sky and magnificent mountains and breathing the fresh air from
the sea, visitors will feel comfortable and their tiredness after a
long trip will disappear. Surely, visitors want to go on with their
journey at once.
Visitors should hire a Minsk motorbike, out of
400 motorbikes and cars here, to ride to any place visitors want to
visit. First of all, visitors should rent a room in a hotel, because
the hotels on this island are often overcrowded due to the
ever-increasing number of visitors to Cat Ba Island, although more
hotels and hostels are being built. It is very pleasant to stay in a
hotel, whose back leans against the mountain and its face looks
towards the sea, and enjoy the fresh air and beautiful scenery around.
Visiting the large beaches of Cat Co and Cat Dua, which are separated
by a small range of mountain, visitors can swim in the blue and warm
water, so clear that visitors can see the golden sand beneath.
If visitors do not want to swim at this crowded
place, visitors can hire a motor boat to sail to the small islets,
where there are calm and clean beaches, such as the Cat Trai Gai,
Duong Gianh and Hien Hao. The mountain adjacent to Cat Co Beach has a
tunnel and fascinating caves and grottoes, such as Hang Luon, Khe Sau,
Trung Trang, Gia Luan and Kim Cuong. Visiting these caves and grottoes
you will get the feeling of the explorers, discovering the wonders and
mysteries endowed by nature.
Coming out of the caves and grottoes visitors should spend a little
time to contemplate the sunset over Lan Ha Bay. On the golden
background of the horizon and the dark blue of the sea, the heaving
islets become multiform, the white sea-gulls hover and sea-eagles make
circles in the sky, all beautifying the immense and fascinating space,
and enchanting the visitors
