This lighthouse amazes visitors by its cylindrical light tower which is completely lit by solar energy. Two sides of the road leading to the lighthouse are covered by lush greenery and glorious bushes of wildflowers.

As an off-the-beaten-track destination, Vinh Thuc Island has not been much exploited for tourism purposes. Hence, it is hard for travelers to find luxury hotels, resorts or restaurants. Instead, visitors can camp overnight or stay at homestays which are also interesting experiences.
