Information Ngu Island

Ngu Island lies over 4km from the coastal. The Island consists of two small islets. The bigger one is 133m above the sea level, and the smaller one is 88m. Phan Huy Chu wrote: Twin Banks Mountain locating in Hoi Thong seaport looks like two fishes. So, it’s called Twin Fishes. Local people simply name it as Ngu Island or Ngu islet



If we want to have an overview of the Island clearly, we have to stand from river marina. Cua Lo river’s main branch originates from western branch, and flows through Huong Van, Phan Thanh. After distributing water to Le dynasty cannal, the river crosses Thien Ly road being National Highway N0 1A in Cau Cam now, and then runs between Dau Voi and Cam mountains. Flowing near to the sea, it meets Dung mountain, and then Lang Kho one locating at the Northern bank. So, it bends itself to the South and then flow to the sea. Proverb says that: the landscape consisting of mountain and river is very interesting. There are not only river and mountain, but bluish green sea. Thanks to Twin Fishes locating outside, Cua Lo beach becomes more poetic and magnificent. The Island protects small fishing boats from storm and whirlwind. Besides bathing in the sea, experiencing the Island’s beauty and enjoying fresh air, visitors can take part in going mountaineering, rowing boats around the Island to experience its beauty, visiting area of feeding fishes in cages. The Island has actually become an attractive tourism site for visitors coming to Cua Lo and “If you come to Cua Lo beach, you must visit Ngu Island”. At present, the Provincial People’s Committee permits Cua Lo town to implement project on building tourist wharf in Lan Chau and Ngu Islands with aim to serve Nghe An Tourism Year 2005 in time.
