Fighting Cock Island

Fighting Cock Island, or Ga Choi Island, is a pair of limestone islet in Halong Bay. We passed it on our way to Bo Hon Island and Sung Sot Cave. Rather than fighting cocks, the limestone formation looked more like a pair of chicken about to kiss.

Going to Fighting Cock Island

Fighting Cock Island is located right in the middle of Halong Bay. To ensure that you don't miss it, mention it to your boatman - it's called Ga Choi in Vietnamese - and ask him to point it out to you. You can easily book a tour of Halong Bay from any travel agencies in Hanoi.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
