Chicken Beak Islet – Quang Ninh
Chicken Beak Islet is located southwest of Ha Long Bay, around 5 km from Bai Chay Beach. Starting from Bai Chay Pier, during a bay tour, visitors will pass by Dog Rock and Lư Hương Peak, then witness the image of Chicken Beak Islet, resembling two giant roosters with wings outstretched, standing proudly on the sea surface.
The image of Chicken Beak Islet has become an icon of Ha Long Bay. Despite hundreds of millions of years, these two rock formations still stand tall and defiantly on the sea surface.
To visit Chicken Beak Islet, tourists must rent a tourist boat to explore the bay and admire the natural masterpiece while enjoying the refreshing atmosphere.
Ke Ga Cape – Phan Thiet
Ke Ga Cape is situated in Ham Thuan Nam district, Binh Thuan province. The first impression upon arrival is undoubtedly the rocky outcrops of various shapes, basking in the sun next to the crystal-clear sea.
To reach Ke Ga Cape, if coming from Mui Ne, you will travel about half an hour to the city of Phan Thiet, then another 1 hour and 30 minutes to Ke Ga.
The route always excites with mountains on one side and the sea on the other. The long journey is forgotten amid the natural and majestic beauty.
The Ke Ga Lighthouse is the most famous check-in spot. It is not on the mainland but on a small island close to the coast. To get there, you have to rent a boat. The journey to the lighthouse is not easy due to many protruding rocks, but the boat ride offers a fascinating experience.
Chicken Island – Khanh Hoa
Chicken Island is another name for the Ecotourism Area of Cat Village – Hon Thom. Located in Xuan Ngoc hamlet, Vinh Ngoc commune, Nha Trang city, Khanh Hoa province.
The charm of Chicken Island lies in its quiet space, fresh air, and the simple beauty that brings a rural atmosphere to the bustling and lively coastal city of Nha Trang.
Visitors to Chicken Island can experience exciting water sports such as fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, jet skiing, or engaging in thrilling traditional games like cockfighting, cricket fighting, and fishing.
Guests can bring their own food and drinks, organizing small picnics and only need to pay for the services within the ecotourism area.
Chicken Canal – Ninh Binh
Kenh Ga is a mineral hot spring resort located in Kenh Ga hamlet, Gia Thinh commune, Gia Vien district, Ninh Binh province. It is renowned for its large hot mineral water pool, often called the miraculous water pool for relaxation, scenic views, and indulgence in spa services or herbal bath tubs.
For an overnight stay, visitors can choose a hotel or, more interestingly, a stilt house. At many locations, guests can enjoy views of the mountain and river scenery and the daily life of local fishermen.
Early morning is the best time of the day, as it is the most peaceful, with only the sounds of nature and the birds, creating a serene and refreshing atmosphere.
Rooster Crest Mountain – Lao Cai
Rooster Crest Mountain is the translated name, known as Sang Ma Sao in the Mong language. It is also the name of a Mông ethnic village nestled at the foot of the mountain, where the terrain is divided by numerous deep valleys, surrounded by majestic mountains.
The most prominent and characteristic feature here is the image of the terraced fields during the ripe rice season. Therefore, the best time to visit Sang Ma Sao is from late August to mid-September when the rice season is in full swing.

To get here, you can come from two directions. Coming from Sapa, the journey is about 70 km. From O Quy Ho Pass, take the route to Ban Khoang, crossing the Tả Giàng Phình valley, and then reaching the Mường Hum heaven gate. The second route starts from Lao Cai City towards Trinh Tuong, through the center of Bat Xat district to reach Lung Po and Y Ty.
