Enjoy the many beaches in record

That Tra Co beach, close to downtown Mong Cai (Quang Ninh) about 10km, more than 350km from Hanoi. No blue sea but the sea Tra ... Offers a wealth of record.


First, Tra Co beach is first recorded on a map of the country, is also located close to the beach most border. Tra Co is located in the extreme northeast of the country, the land border between Vietnam and China. Standing in this place, the sea towards the eye can perceive all the sanctity of national sovereignty.

By special location such that there are advantages Tra stretches to 17km, becoming the longest beaches in Vietnam. At this point you will see an area that features a fishing village on the village, between the casuarina forest and finally breakwater beach. Stretching and not be commercialized massively, only a small part of the beach to the resort operators, golf course, with the wind of soaring, with rustling trees and white sand to be engrossed attraction guests love the beauty of nature, like the pure and quiet of the wind, sun, sea, cloudy sky.

In this wild place, counting his footsteps in the sand, break a few sim purple flowers, picked up a handful of shells, shells, sometimes you feel alone exists along with the sea. It is easy to see, even the shells, dead shells washed ashore by waves from a push away from that bottom end is off to no end. Perhaps because of this scallop shell feet when you step on the sand many will see but can also hurt because of this that you remember Tra longer. And people naive here, the quality of their shells into small piles, have to bring the car to improve it with less exposure in the regret of those who want to pick up a few bags as a gift for children. Because of this, in addition to Tra Co beach title dubbed the most lyrical beaches in Vietnam has another record: the most pristine beaches Vietnam!

Do not think only Tra romantic beauty, unspoiled but monotonous. Being fascinated by this place, the couple that I met after playful delight, record images with waves, water, sky, clouds, sand has decided to come back here next time wedding photography. Tra Dinh soaring curved roof home went into the theater of musician Nguyen Cuong and church Tra moss too deep will make the backdrop for great photos. So that, although the elderly or small children, or even lovers married, looking at him, listening to him talk about the landscape that want to be on the road, find the feeling that has long been absent in the noisy urban life, fatigue.
