In
the Ngọc Vừng - Quan Lạn islands itinerary, one will visit Cống
Tây Island, which lies at the Bái Tử Long Bay, 40 km away from
the Bãi Cháy Tourist Wharf. From Cẩm Phả, express boats will
take you 30 minutes or 90 minutes by common boats to reach Cống
Tây Island.
Cống
Tây Island is considered the Cinderella in a legendary tale. The
Cẩm Phả Coal Construction and Port Company built a resort in
the island to attract holidaymakers. A system of villas and
restaurants lies very close to the beach. Red brick-paved,
coconut-lined roads lead from the villas to the beach. Hammocks
are available here and there for tourists to relax and view the
sea.
