Ha Long, one of the World Heritages, comprises thousands of big and small islands. Each one has its own characteristic with various caves: Sung Sot Cave,Thien Cung Cave, Trinh Nu Cave. Tuan Chau Island is the only soil island of all. It is not only a place having beautiful natural surroundings: pine trees, lakes, beautiful beach…but also where President Ho Chi Minh chose to be the relax place of other State officials' and his when they came here in 1959.
On the total area of 400 ha, Tuan Chau has the population of 1500. As planned, the total area of Tuan Chau will be widen to 675 ha. It enjoys the advantage of having both road and river transportations. It is about 18 km away from National Highway No.1. This route is an important blood vessel of the robust Hanoi – Hai Phong – Quang Ninh economic triangle. It takes about 3 hours from Mong Cai ( 2 hours by boat) and 1 hour from Hai Phong.
Tuan Chau island’s name is the combination between ‘linh tuan’ (the patrolman) and ‘tri chau’ (district chief) because in the feudal time, the royal army set up a guard station here to patrol and defend the borderland. Prior to 1999, the island's residents suffered from a very modest living standard.There was no power network and no clean water. Roads were only trails and there was no mechanical means of transportation. Tuan Chau was a very poor town where fishing with very rudimentary tools is the only means of living.
The emergence of the Au Lac company has completely changed the scenery of Tuan Chau. Living conditions have also improved since then.
Au Lac Company was established in February 28th, 1998. The company name originated from Au Co and Lac Long Quan who were believed to be the great ancestors of the Vietnamese people today. And Au Lac company cherished the ambition of being the first to discover this primitive beautiful island and turn it into an international tourism center.
The first project of great significance was to link Tuan Chau and the National Highway No18 by building a road. The work was officially started on February 28th, 1998. All company staff had to overcome numerous hardships to achieve this difficult task, which translated people’s dream into reality.
At present, the Au Lac company still continues to invest in Tuan Chau projects. From a primitive island, Tuan Chau has become well- known to both international and domestic tourists as an attractive destination with:
a dolphin&seal club
a circus
a crocodile club
an (artificial) beach with 4 km long.
a Vietnamese culinary area
a hotel and resort area of 5-star standard (200 rooms)
a water recreation park with activities such as motor racing, canoeing, parachuting, water skiing, etc.
Ha Long Bay sight- seeing services by canoe, boat, helicopter
a high tech water fountain with music playing, laser lighting and film projecting on water screens.
At present, the Au Lac company is investing tou build a 36-hole golf course in the west part of the island, a quiet winter zone, a seaside resort area with 300 rooms, an underwater world, a tourist harbor, a supermarket system, a seafood market, an international school, an international hospital, an underwater world. Our strong desire is to make Tuan Chau island become a comprehensive international tourism and recreation complex in the near future.
