Sa Vi Cape

Sa Vi Cape is the northeasternmost tip of mainland Vietnam, located in Tra Co Ward, Mong Cai City, Quang Ninh Province, near the Vietnam-China border. It marks the starting point of Vietnam's 3,260 km coastline and features the Zero Milestone monument and a cluster of three pine trees symbolizing the country. The cape offers coastal views, adjacent Tra Co Beach, and significance as a national sovereignty landmark attracting domestic visitors.

Visitors can expect an open coastal headland with a paved plaza featuring the Zero Milestone (Km 0) granite marker and the Sa Vi monument cluster with three pine trees. The site overlooks the Gulf of Tonkin and Tra Co Beach with sandy shoreline, sea views and border marker surroundings. The area is open and exposed with photo spots, flag pole, and interpretive steles. Visitors typically walk around the plaza, take photos, view the sea and combine the visit with the adjacent beach.

Sa Vi Cape marks Km 0 of Vietnam's coastline and the northeastern terminus of the national land border. The current Sa Vi monument cluster was constructed and inaugurated in 2009, featuring a granite stele inscribed with a poem about Vietnam's shape and three pine trees representing national unity. It serves as a geographical and symbolic starting point for the country's border system.

The cape is regarded as a sovereignty symbol and patriotic destination where visitors pay respect to national territory. The three pine trees and Zero Milestone represent unity of North, Central and South Vietnam. It is a common site for flag ceremonies, youth and group commemorative visits, and check-in tourism emphasizing national pride.
