It
stretches out parallel to Quan Lan Island, separated by the Doi Gate
that runs in a north-east direction. It has the other name, Cao Lo
Island.
It is 15km from the
shore, 1,800ha in area with more than 20 km long and narrow wide. It
consists of a narrow stretch of earth and stone that runs east to west.
The highest peak is Quit Mountain with a height of 397m. The fauna and
flora here are very plentiful. There are many rare species.
It is the only island in Halong Bay
that is home to a primitive forest. There are countless species of
plants and trees, some with giant trunks. This forest is also home to
many rare animals such as chamois, deer and monkeys. It is said that
many years ago tigers, panthers and elephants once resided on the
island. In order to help preserve the forest, on January 24, 1997, the
government recognised it as a Bai Tu Long National Park.
