Tuan
Chau Island is well known for its entertainment and recreation
activities. From the main road just before you reach Halong city, you
will see a modern archway which serves as the main entrance to Tuan Chau
Island. The drive in will take about 5 minutes over a man-made
reclaimed road. A huge modern entertainment complex which can seat up to
2,000 people holds dolphin and seal shows, a high tech water fountain
with music, laser lighting and film showing on the water screen and an
interesting crocodile show. There is parking available while taxis are
seen outside the entrance of the island.
A
newly built jetty that offers cruises to Halong Bay is lined with a 4km
man-made beach occupied with local cafes and restaurants, a large
building with ferry and cruise counters, a modern karaoke club and disco
making this island a destination for locals and also foreign travelers.
