Описание: Trong Mai Islet is found in the Southwest of Halong Bay close to Dinh Huong Islet, around 3 miles (5 kilometers) from Bai Chay Tourist Wharf. This recognizable islet takes the form of two chickens: a rooster and a hen, said to be kissing. The islet stands at about 30 feet (10 meters) above sea level, and according to those with a more romantic outlook, the two chickens have stood by each other for thousands of years, representing the steadiness of faithful love. There is a traditional folk story told by the Vietnamese that talks of the origins of Vietnam. In this story the highest God in Heaven, Ngoc Hoang, sent a ferocious dragon mother and her children to help the early Vietnamese fight off foreign invaders. When the war was won, Ngoc Hoang was surprised that the dragon mother and her children did not return to heaven, and sent two chickens to bring them home. The chicken were so taken by the beauty of Halong Bay that the two chicken themselves fell in love and forgot the mission that Ngoc Hoang had given them! From then on they remained in Halong Bay and over time petrified and turned into stone.
