About the place

What you need to know

The complex, whose construction was completed in 2013, is the pride of Quang Ninh province. Its architecture is impressive: eight 27-meter-high concrete feathers symbolize the three eagles from To Huu's poem, embodying the courage of the people. The base is decorated with a ceramic mosaic featuring the Ngoc Lu drum pattern.

This is home to the "zero kilometer" — the starting point of the country's 3,260-kilometer coastline all the way to Cape Ca Mau. Visitors have access to binoculars to view neighboring China, bicycle rentals, a 5D cinema, and the opportunity to try on traditional ethnic costumes. The place is especially popular for walks in clear weather and evening visits thanks to spectacular artistic lighting.
