Nhat Tu Son Island (Xuan Thanh ward, Song Cau town) looks fanciful through the clouds at 7 am. This is one of the most beautiful islands in Xuan Dai Bay, with a variety of natural landscapes, especially the characteristic 300-meter-long road crossing the sea to the island, only appearing when the tide recedes. In addition, Song Cau Town's beautiful waters of Vinh Hoa Bay and Xuan Hai fishing village are also worth visiting.
