Van Don
Island in Quang Ninh
province is known as an ancient trade with many archaeological sites &
special cultural relics. In recent years, Van Don is also included in the list of
beautiful beaches in the northern region. Dai Beach is located 60 km from Bai Chay with more than 1
hour drive - about 10km from the center of Cai Rong town.
Located on the banks of the beautiful Bai Tu Long Bay, Bai
Dai beach, based on pristine mountain forests, stretches to the white sand coastline
and blue water. Coming here in the summer, visitors can stroll along the beach
to hear the sound of whispering waves while watching the charming picture of
Bai Tu Long Bay.
Nearly 10 years ago, the Dai Beach
area was wilderness. At that time, Van Don island was poor with many difficulties
in transportation. Yet after 10 years of reform, investors have made this area
becoming a tourism attraction. Though these changes have been put into operation so far, Dai Beach
does not seem to lose its inherent tranquility. On sunny summer days, sitting
under a casuarinas grove looking at the horizon is really a great feeling. Each
morning watching sunrise, enjoying cool weather, fresh air, and strolling along
the beach to enjoy the natural grandeur is the hobby of many tourists. Far out
of sight, Bai Tu Long Bay is like a charming picture. “Unspoiled& peaceful” does not mean that there’s a lack
of services in the resort. Currently it is divided into two resorts in two
different styles:
- The first one combines ancient and modern architecture.
The hotel service area divides into different zones. The hotel is built on a majestic
high hill, a magnificent palace with plentiful rooms & standard facilities.
Here you can view the whole scene in front of the sea. If you prefer more privacy,
under way are separate garden villas with a warm atmosphere for the whole family.
- The second one is the ecotourism based under the foot of
green casuarinas groves. Here is a small port for tourists to enjoy fresh
seafood. This space is suitable for large groups of tourists to bath, dinner
and campfire & enjoys outdoor living... You can also try adventure
exploring the natural caves around this area.
You can go down the coast to the Blessed Holy Temple, the
branch of Truc Lam Yen Tu. The temple is situated in a beautiful location on a
hill overlooking the sea. Visitors go there to immerse in the spiritual world.
There are many inter- provincial and inter- district buses
operating continuously to bring tourists to the Bai Dai tourist area. From Bai
Chay Bus Station, you can catch the 01 bus routes of Coach Corporation, with the
first line is Bai Chay Station ( Halong City), and the ending is Dai Beach ,
Van Don , with fares for a turn to 25,000 dong. If you need a place to rest , Dai Beach - Van Don probably
should have in your choice .
