Minh Chau Beach
Quan Lan is not so big that it takes you several days to go all over the island, however, it is not difficult for you to realize that this place is truly beautiful, truly beautiful, not just “advertised”.
One of the most beautiful beaches of Quan Lan is Minh Chau. Minh Chau beach is only 15 km from Quan Lan beach. The sand here is known as “white as snow, smooth as velvet”, clean and worth a visit.
Whether the water is clear or not depends on the weather, but it must be said that Minh Chau beach is very clean, just being immersed in the cool water is enough to make you forget all the troubles of the past days.
In addition to swimming, coming to Minh Chau beach you can also camp, have fun, and visit the island with friends and family. Or sometimes just walking on the sand, watching the sea at sunset or welcoming a beautiful sunrise, you already feel satisfied.
Son Hao Beach
Besides Minh Chau, Son Hao beach is the most beautiful and suitable beach for swimming. There is also a very comfortable resort here, ideal for families on vacation.
Son Hao beach still retains its wild character, everything is gentle and mellow, the sand is still white, the water is still clear blue and there seems to be no human exploitation. The waves here are quite big so you will enjoy swimming. Son Hao is also the beach with the biggest waves.
Quan Lan Beach
The remaining beach in the top 3 most beautiful beaches you should bathe when traveling to Quan Lan also includes Quan Lan Beach. Quan Lan Beach used to be the beach closest to the port, and very close to the market. This beach is about 12km from Minh Chau, 6km from Son Hao. Although it is still wild, this place has been built by ATI company so it is no longer as it was a few years ago. However, this is still a beautiful, romantic beach, no different from the beaches in Co To.
Quan Lan Communal House
This is the most meaningful tourist destination when you travel to Quan Lan. Perhaps you already know that Quan Lan is a land associated with the nation’s historical tradition of fighting against foreign invaders. In 1990, the Quan Lan relic complex was ranked by the Ministry of Culture and Information (this is the Ministry of Culture – Sports – Tourism) as a national historical and architectural and artistic relic with a system of communal houses – pagodas – shrines. .
Quan Lan communal house worships general Tran Khanh Du. This is a communal house that is not only beautiful but also extremely sacred to the islanders. Next to the communal house is Quan Lan Pagoda (Linh Quang Tu) worshiping Buddha and Princess Lieu Hanh. In the pagoda there is also a statue of Mr. Hau, a local person who contributed a lot to building the pagoda. The statue is of a fresh, gentle, and simple Vietnamese old lady, creating a unique feature of the pagoda.
In particular, the Quan Lan village festival takes place from the 11th to the 26th of the 6th lunar month every year with a unique and crowded boat racing custom that attracts people from the mainland and from remote islands to attend.
