The Quang Ninh Province People's Committee has approved three new tourism tours in CoTo, the furthest island district in the northern province and one which has many islands, untouched forests, picturesque landscapes, beaches with blue water and soft sand and corals.
They take visitors from CoTo town to Dong Tuyen Commune, small CoTo island, and Thanh Lan Island Commune, and offer seascapes and adventure tourism.
The route to Dong Tuyen Commune will take in several tourist attractions such as Cau My rock ground, Bac Bo (Tonkin) Gulf fishing logistics centre, the district's central market, President Ho Chi Minh memorial site, Nam Hai Beach, the CoTo light house, and Choi forest.
Quang Ninh plans to develop CoTo into a national ecological and resort tourism area and a major destination in the Cat Ba - Ha Long - Van Don - CoTo - Mong Cai tourism circuit by 2020. It takes about three hours to reach CoTo, some 100km from the mainland, by boat from Cai Rong Port in Van Don District.
