Situated
about 7-8 km south-east of Bai Cháy lies
the small Ti Top Island. It displays a
beach shaped like a crescent moon, and
sand that has been washed to a snowy
wh ite by the tide. On 22 November 1962,
this tiny island had the honour of
receiving a visit from astronaut
Ghermann Ti Top, a hero of the former
Soviet Union, accompanied by Ho Chí Minh.
To perpetuate the remembrance of their
visit, Uncle Ho named the place Ti Top
Island. It has now become an attractive
beach for tourists and has various of
tourist services
Thirty-five years afterwards, on 27 June
1997, Ti Top returned to the island
having his name. Deeply moved, he wrote
in the souvenir book of the Management
Board of Ha Long Bay: "My deepest thanks
to destiny, which has allowed me to come
back to this tiny island.” It has become
a beach attracting many visitors. |
