Hon Ba Island
Hon Ba small island is located between Mui Nghinh Phong area and Bai Sau beach, with only one architecture, Hon Ba temple built in 1871 to worship the Water Dragon God, blessing people and boats going to sea.

In the first days of the new year, tens of thousands of people often come to cross the sea to offer incense. The tide schedule is also posted on many websites and social networks for people and tourists to grasp.
Symbolic works of Tam Thang Tower, Ca Ong statue

The tower surface is tiled with mosaic tiles reflecting light, creating a strong visual effect during the day and brilliant colors with a LED night lighting system.
