Hatien, Vietnam

Displayed:   times.

Travelers visit Ha Tien hoping to catch the magic of the land. There are many historical places such as imperial tombs and ancient pagodas to be visited. Ha Tien is such a delightful location that was chosen as the location for the French film "L'amant" (The Lover) in 1995.

There are several attractions in the area: Thach Dong stone grotto, a piece of green stone emerging from the ground; Chong stone; Hon Phu Tu, Father and Son rocks which lie approximately 100m (110 yards) offshore; and Hang Pagoda. Hai Tac islets can be reached by boat. There are 16 islets around which the water is about 4m (13 feet) deep. Hon Doc, the largest islet, has a quiet, isolated white sand beach.

Near Hon Chong Beach is the Tien Cave with its 2 openings; the eastern on the sea and the west door opening onto Duoc Beach. The cave has many oddly shaped stone drops, some suggesting Nguyen King's gold throne. Hon Trem Beach, 1km (0.5 mile) from Hon Chong Beach offers the nicest white sand in Ha Tien. Hang Pagoda is also very interesting. This pagoda is 40m (132 feet) underground, somber and foggy, with echoes of the pagoda's bell off the stone drops.
