Trong Mai Islet (rock of ‘the kissing cocks’) is a famous islet on Halong Bay. It has become a symbol of Halong Bay and also Vietnam’s tourism. It can also be found with the name ‘Ga Choi Islet’ (rock of ‘the fighting cocks’).
Trong Mai Islet is located at the southwestern Halong Bay, about 5 kilometers from Bai Chay tourist wharf. The islet is about 10 meters high above the sea level. It has the shape of a cock couple rising from the blue sea. These two huge cocks have stood by the other for thousands of years. As the story told by the locals, Trong Mai Islet represents for faithfulness of love.
The islet is most beautiful at dawn, when the sun sheds the first shine of a day and light up the cock couple.
