What makes visitors excited when coming here is discovering the walking path in the middle of the sea that is said to be unique in Vietnam. The white sand strip is about 400m long, about 1m wide, connecting Hon O and Hon Qu, located in the middle of the clear blue sea.
The road is formed at the intersection between the waves of the sea and is continuously built up day by day. However, the road does not always rise above sea level but depends on sea level.
When the sea water drops, the white strip of land connecting the two islands gradually reveals itself to form a winding sandy road under the clear blue sea. Walking on the road in the middle of the sea brings a feeling of great joy when the small waves gently touch your feet, mixed with excitement and a little fear when you have to step in the middle of the vast ocean.
