Mat Quy Islet: A Guide to The "Monster Face" Islet
Contents
Mat Quy Islet, known in English as Monster Face Islet, is a rock formation found in Halong Bay, standing tall at about 34 meters above sea level.
If you look closely you may spot the nose and eyes of the monster, however, the face looks distorted from all angles and this is why it is popularly likened to that of a monster. Some locals tell the tale that Mat Quy Islet is the petrified head of a monster killed by Kim Quy, the Golden Tortoise.
