The couple's rock is also considered a symbol of love and loyalty, and is a popular photo spot for many tourists.

This is a symbolic rock that is also depicted on Vietnam's 200,000 dong banknote. Its name comes from its resemblance to the shape of an incense burner, and its appearance standing alone on the sea is impressive. You can see it up close from the boat, and it stands out among the fantastic scenery.
