Quan Lan island is a large island, located in the Van Don island district, in Bai Tu Long Bay, 45 km to northeast of Halong Bay.
In
the 11th century, this was a major seaport, and an international trade
centre in Vietnam. The most impressive architecture on the island is Quan Lan
Temple. Built in the Le Dynasty, it has exquisite engravings. Your
guide will tell you of the victory of Quan Lan’s army under the command
of General Tran Khanh Du against Mongol invaders.
Quan Lan
has a series of beautiful beaches. Viet My Beach has high, fine white
sand & Minh Chau Beach has a beautiful curved sandy shoreline. The
clean and clear deep blue waters reflect the white sand and the blue
sky. Along the coast is the hundred-year-old Tram Forest. Cycle on the slopes of the hills, to the beach,
across the white sand dunes with many wild flowers, and back to talk
with local people. Then you will really feel the “soul” of the Island.
