Islands

Bai Lang is the landing on Hòn Lao, the only inhabited island. You step off the boat onto the shore road, with the pier, the houses, and the hill in one walk. Breakfast stalls line that coast road. The 16 September 2025 heritage study puts lunch around 11:00–12:00 and the evening meal around 17:00–18:00. A night here is a village house after the day boats have gone back to Cửa Đại.

Hải Tạng stands in Xóm Cấm, facing the fields called Đồng Chùa. The founders’ hall, Đình Tiền Hiền, and the whale shrine, Lăng Ông Ngư, are in the same hamlet. The 1998–1999 dig found Cham, Chinese, and West Asian ceramics, and the heritage centre reads the hamlet as a Cham-period stop for trading ships from the 8th to the 10th century. National relic, 2006. The heritage page describes that dig as a past excavation.
