Tre islet has an area of 400ha with many nice landscapes such as Chen beach, Coconut cave (Dong Dua), Tail of sea god (Duoi Ha Ba).
From the town centre of Tre islet, tourists travel along the path and crossing the mountain. It takes totally 30 minutes to Chen beach. This beach, which locates on the NorthWest of the islet, is 2 kilometers long with many big rocks like small upside-down bowl. That’s why people call it Chen (small bowl) beach. This is the most beautiful beach in Tre islet because it still remains original with lot of green inclining trees with shadow. Tourists can enjoy sea specialties and a view of the nature.
Coconut cave (Dong Dua) of Tre islet is rather romantic and is a firth where a fishing village locates so ships often stop by for getting food, fresh water and rest after offshore trips. There are many coconut trees along the shore. It is a good-looking beach and suitable for fishing and resting.
Tail of sea god (Duoi Ha Ba) (Dua beach where there are a lot of wild pineapple trees) has several ancient big trees. Tourists can enjoy a view of the nature and dive to catch oysters clinging to rock and then enjoy them. What an enjoyable dish! (vnexplore.net)

Chau Nham Son

Chau Nham Son is the antique name of Da Dung mountain. This is an isosceles trapezium limestone mountain (the top is flat and parallel with the foot) with abrupt rocky ascent. So, we call Da Dung (abrupt rocky ascent) to tell it apart with other surround mountains. From Ha Tien town, tourists can take cars or motorcycles to go 7 kilometers along highway 80 towards Xa Xia border crossing and reach grotto (Thach Dong). There is a road the left here. Take this road to continue going 1 more km to reach Da Dung. This landscape is 4 kilometers from the border between Vietnam and Cambodia.

Da Dung is really a masterpiece that the nature creates to decorate Ha Tien more beautifully. This beauty is not only a splendid but also occult as inherent legend of this land. We will be astonished before the natural sight here. Because of natural influences especially erosion, the inside of the mountain has so many grottoes. Grottes are deep, dry, wide and narrow. Some grottes are under the mountain foot. The others are halfway up the mountain. All are beautiful. It is a specific beauty that exists only in limestone mountain with a lot of multiform stalactite. The most famous grotte is Ba Chua Xu one with a combination of many clear grottes. (Source: http://www.kiengiang.gov.vn)
