Trống
Mái is situated on the south-west side of Hạ Long Bay, 5 km from
the tourist wharf near to Ðỉnh Hương Islet. In a somewhat large
expanse of open sea, the island seems to grow up from the bottom
of the deep emerald waters. At sunset, the island with the height
of over 10 m is bright red and in a somewhat tottery position.
Their tiny legs support heavy bodies, and it appears that one
strong wave could throw the two stone blocks into the sea.
However, hundreds of millions of years have passed, and the Trống
Mái is still there. The image of the island is the logo of Hạ Long
Bay and Vietnam Tourism.
