Hue tourism is also hiding a beautiful, pristine island with a very beautiful natural ecosystem. That is Son Cha Island, which was once given the name Ngu Hai Dai by King Minh Mang.
Many people going to Hue mistakenly think that this place is the same as Son Tra Peninsula, Da Nang because the name is quite similar. In fact, this island is still unspoiled, few people know, located at the foot of the top of Hai Van mountain with a jade-colored sea surface winding around the golden sand, making many people surprised by its shimmering beauty.
The sea here is clear, the water surface is jade, and there is a golden sand beach winding around as if enveloping a swimming pool space on the shore. The special thing here is not only to hear the murmuring sounds of the waves and catch the cool sea breeze, but visitors can also swim in the sea while watching the North-South train bend across the majestic rapids, which is extremely interesting.
Currently, tourism activities in Son Cha have not developed as well as other places in Hue. However, this place is extremely suitable for scuba diving and coral viewing.
Son Cha is only about 1.5km wide but has full terrain. The rocky beaches overlap each other and stand tall in the clouds over the years. It is interesting to walk barefoot on the rocky beach, quietly listening to the waves whispering under your feet. Son Cha has more than 144 species of corals, 135 species of seaweed and about 162 species of colorful fish. This green island is the only place in the sea that preserves rare and rare mountain poplar species and is also a sea area where many seafood species such as lobster, grouper, abalone, sea cucumber, etc.
At night, visitors can take a leisurely stroll under the sand, organize overnight camping activities on the beach, enjoy the strong smell of the sea and the full moonlight. On the island, electricity is generated from explosive machines. In order to save fuel, the machine only ran for a few hours in the early evening, then everything sank into darkness, only the sound of insects and the sound of sea waves crashing on the shore rumbled. Because I swear if you plan to spend the night, remember to bring a flashlight, charge your smartphone with a full battery, prepare power banks so that the paparazzi work is not interrupted in the middle.
