Situated in northern Ha Long Bay, Tuan Chau Island makes a convenient getaway from the frenetic energy of nearby Ha Long City. With its verdant vegetation, white sands lapped by warm azure waters, and world-class facilities, the island appeals to local and international travellers alike. Visitors can enjoy a wide range of watersports including, among others: surfing, paragliding, canoeing and beach volleyball on the 2-kilometer long beach. The island is centred around an impressive international convention center and a 12,000-seat outdoor stage which hosts several marine animal shows including dolphins, seals, belugas and crocodiles as well as a circus and high-tech laser fountain show.
