Ga Choi Islet

Ga Choi Islet, also known as Fighting Cocks Islet, is a pair of limestone karsts in Ha Long Bay off Ha Long City, Quang Ninh Province, Vietnam. The two rocks, resembling fighting cocks facing each other, rise about 12 meters above sea level. Located southwest of Ha Long Bay near Thien Cung and Dau Go Caves, it is an iconic symbol of the bay and a landmark within the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Visitors can expect to view Ga Choi Islet from a sightseeing boat cruise in Ha Long Bay. The islet consists of two small limestone formations standing close together in emerald water, resembling two chickens facing each other. There is no landing or walking area on the islet itself; viewing and photography are done from the water. The surrounding seascape features numerous limestone karsts, islands and caves typical of Ha Long Bay.

Ga Choi Islet is a natural limestone formation formed over millions of years through karst processes in Ha Long Bay. It has long been regarded as a natural symbol of Ha Long Bay and Quang Ninh Province and is widely used as an emblem for Ha Long Bay tourism.

The islet is a cultural icon of Ha Long Bay and Quang Ninh, frequently featured in tourism logos, postcards and promotional materials as the representative image of the bay. The fighting cocks shape is associated locally with harmony and is a well-known landmark for domestic and international visitors.
