A 2 km (1.2 mile) causeway links it to the mainland, so you can drive straight onto the island. The developed tourist zone covers around 2.2 km\u00b2 of a larger landmass of gentle hills and two beaches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Archaeologists have found traces of human settlement here dating back 3,000 to 5,000 years, and the name traces to an old patrol station that once guarded this stretch of coast. President Ho Chi Minh stayed on the island in the late 1950s, and his former quarters remain as a small memorial today.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2025 Vietnam reorganized its local government and removed the district tier, so older references to a &#8220;Ha Long City district&#8221; are now out of date.
