The story in the name

The Bay Management Board says the island was named to mark the 1962 visit of President Hồ Chí Minh and Soviet cosmonaut Gherman Titov. A place can carry both scenic and historical value; when retelling it, stick to the details in official accounts instead of adding invented dialogue or anecdotes.

A stop to fit into your schedule

The island has a beach and a path to a viewpoint, but arrival times and stop duration depend on the boat route. If you plan to climb, leave enough time and consider your fitness; if you only want a break, confirm where the boat will pick you up. Check routes and operating conditions when booking.
