Ngoc Vung Island is a pretty site
sitting between the Net Islet and Phuong hoang (Phoenix) Island in de Van Dong
District, Quang Ninh Province.
From above, Ngoc Vung looks
like a beautiful velvet handkerchief with exquisite white edgings; it seems to
float on the water surface.
On the east side of the
island there is a kilometres-beach with pure white sand. At the centre is a
luxuriant benjamin fig tree; it was under this tree that President Ho Chi Minh
stood and conversed with the population in 1962 during a visit. Formerly, under
the feudal dynasties, this island zone contained a great quantity of rare and
precious species of mother-of-pearls. At night, fluorescent pearls would light
up the whole region. So there are several islands having name “Ngọc” such as
Ngoc Vung (dazzling pearl), Minh Chau (Ngoc Chau)...
During the war against the
US, the island belonged to a front of outward islands that served as protection
for the eastern waterways.
It is also on the beach
that many stone artefacts were discovered in 1937, opening a string of
excavations and archaeological research aiming at providing some explanations
of the mysteries of the ancient Halong culture.
Situated to the south of
Ngoc Vung Island, some 34km southeast of the tourist boat wharf, this beach
boasts clear waters all year round. Ngoc Vung is one of the offshore beach
which is still kept pristine and unspoilt. Its 3-km sandy stretch sparkles in
the sunlight.
Apart from swimming and
sightseeing, tourists can also enjoy fresh delicious seafood supplied by local
fishermen.
