Incense Burner (Hòn Lư Hương, Hòn Đỉnh Hương hay Đỉnh Lư Hương)

Incense Burner, is located southwest of Dau Go Cave. Passing through Cho Da Islet and arriving at the seafood floating house area, visitors will admire a majestic stone standing on two very slender legs rising up, blocking the path. The stone is shaped like a giant incense burner standing in the middle of the ocean, like a sacred object worshiping heaven and earth, reminding us of the tradition of drinking water and remembering its source. We are grateful to our ancestors and the sages of the past who contributed to building and protecting the country. Currently, Incense Burner (Lu Huong) is printed on the 200,000 VND banknote as a reminder of a meaningful image.

Nowadays, most of the Ha Long day tours as well as the Ha Long overnight cruise tours on the bay have a direction to travel through this beautiful island.
