The capital is famous for the large Co To island and the small Co To island, but not many tourists know that Co To island district also has more than 30 islands with many other beautiful scenery, such as sandy roads in the middle of the sea.

At Thanh Lan beach, on 8 days in a month, a long sandy road suddenly emerges in the middle of the clear blue sea. The road is named by the people on the island as "depending on fate", because it is not always possible to find.

“The appearance of this road depends on the day of the water, which is the day calculated according to the water flow up and down in the month.

In a month, there will usually be two water bodies, each water only appearing in 4 days, not fixed, usually at the beginning of the month or the middle of the month. There are waves that do not appear. So at most, you can only see the road in 8 days a month, every day is only a few hours," shared Mr. Tran Van Nam, a tour guide who is also an indigenous person on the island.

Con đường "thử thách sự may mắn" này nằm cách đảo Thanh Lân chỉ 200m, cách đảo Cô Tô lớn và đảo Hòn Chép 4km. Đường dài hơn 30m, rộng 20m với bãi cát mịn, sạch tinh và thoải dần về hai bên và có thể tiếp cận bằng phương tiện tàu hoặc cano.

Coming here, visitors can comfortably walk on the sand, bathe in the cool sea water. The water here at this time is relatively shallow, clear blue bottom with schools of young fish swimming around. The gentle waves of the sea from both sides also make visitors feel new and exciting.

My Hieu (Hanoi) was one of the first guests to discover this new place. She shared: “I feel very lucky to be able to step foot on this path. Because as soon as my family got on the canoe to leave, I looked back and saw that the water had risen quite a bit. Seen from above, the road looks like a giant fish, this is indeed a very beautiful and unique place that is rare in the North."

After exploring the sandy road, visitors can also move to Goat Island to experience snail catching, visit rocky beaches, snorkeling, go fishing and eat at rafts or have BBQ on the beach.
