️ Located in the south of Bo Hon island range, Human Head Island is about 13 km from Bai Chay tourist wharf. This island looks like a giant man, with a high nose bridge, deep eyes and a wide forehead, looking out to sea. This unique image has inspired many mysterious stories and created interesting legends about the origin and meaning of this special island.
One of the most popular legends says that, long ago, on the top of a high mountain, there was a strong and kind giant. He was always willing to help people in fighting natural disasters, protecting crops and maintaining a peaceful life for the fishing village. One day, a ferocious dragon appeared from the East Sea, creating terrible waves, threatening to submerge the coastal villages. The giant bravely confronted the monster for many days and nights. Finally, he used all his strength and threw a powerful punch at the dragon, seriously injuring it and forcing it to retreat. However, after the battle, the giant was exhausted and collapsed, turning into stone. His head became the Human Head Island as we see today, still facing the sea to watch over and protect the homeland.
Human Head Island is not only famous for its mysterious legends but is also said to be the place where many strange phenomena take place. Some people believe that on bright moonlit nights, they see the island emitting a sparkling, magical light. In addition, there are people who have shared that when standing near this island, they feel a special source of energy, bringing a sense of peace and serenity.
