About 180 kilometres past Ha Long Bay, or seven hours drive from Hanoi, lies the peninsula of Tra Co.
Tra Co marks the road linking Mong Cai township, north of Quang Ninh, with the Chinese border. But most importantly for tourists, the area boasts white sands, cultural sights and a golf course.
If you're in the mood for a walk head out along the 17km coastline from Tra Vi to Mui Ngoc. In addition to the beaches and crashing waves there is a natural mangrove forest nearby.
About 6km from Tra Co beach is Tra Vi, "Km 0" from the Chinese border. This is the starting point of the S-shape that's Vietnam. On a clear day you can look out across the water to China on the opposite shore.
This is where the tourist trail ends but don't feel tempted to stop here because just around the corner an oasis awaits - Con Mang.
