On the occasion of this year's Hung Kings' Commemoration Day holiday, Mr. Le Xuan Hung's family (Hanoi) spent 3 days in Ha Long.
One of the new attractions that his family plans to visit on this trip is the lighthouse located on Ha Long Bay, near the coast of Bai Chay, Ha Long City.
When his family arrived, the road to the lighthouse area was packed with cars parked on both sides of the road. On top of the lighthouse, many groups of tourists are watching Ha Long Bay, Ha Long City and checking in.
There are 2 ways to get to the top of the lighthouse: climbing the stairs and the elevator. However, few people choose a staircase because the lighthouse is 55.5m high.
The space on top of the lighthouse is wonderful. From here, you can see Ha Long Bay, Bai Tho Mountain, Bai Chay tourist area, Bai Chay Bridge and each tourist train entering and leaving the wharf. We tried to wait until late afternoon to watch the sunset, because we heard this is one of the most beautiful sunset viewing spots on the shore of Ha Long Bay" - Mr. Hung shared.
Many visitors who have just set foot on the top of the lighthouse are also overwhelmed with emotion because of the wonderful scenery and the color of the space changing over time and weather.
The lighthouse is the soul of the Bai Chay Ward Lighthouse Entertainment and Entertainment Complex, which has been serving tourists since May 2024.
At the foot of this lantern, music shows by famous singers often take place. In which, singers such as: My Tam, Trung Quan Idol and Hien Thuc... performed on an open stage, with the space behind it being the sea.
The lighthouse on the coast of Bai Chay is simulated from the Ke Ga lighthouse, Binh Thuan province - one of the oldest lighthouses in Vietnam. Ke Ga lighthouse was put into use by the French in 1899, 66m above sea level. The tower body is 41m high.
However, the lighthouse on the coast of Bai Chay is the lighthouse with the highest body in Vietnam - 55.5m high. This lighthouse was invested and built by a private economic group, with a total capital of nearly 280 billion VND.
