Fighting Cocks Islet (Kissing Rocks)
Hòn Gà Chọi
Two facing rocks that look like fighting roosters or kissing lovers. This is the most iconic landmark and postcard view of Ha Long Bay.
Fighting Cocks Islet, also called the Male and Female Rocks or the Kissing Rocks, consists of two limestone pillars about 10 meters tall standing face to face. They resemble two roosters locked in combat, or a couple kissing, and have become the signature image of Ha Long Bay and Vietnam tourism. Boats only circle the rocks for photos and do not land. Nearly every Route 1 and Route 2 trip from Bai Chay or Tuan Chau passes by. The best photo spot is the bow, and boats slow down as they approach.
