The story of Con Dao Co Ong village
Before starting the journey to visit Con Dao Co Ong village , you should also learn a little about the legend about this village. According to the people of Con Dao, since ancient times, Truc Van Cau from Co Ong village was very intelligent. He fell in love with Mai Thi Trau and while he asked his father to marry him, he was fiercely rejected. Because she is the result of the love affair from the young age of Cau’s father and Trau’s mother.
Before the story of the father, Cau was extremely stunned, because the two had eaten the “forbidden fruit” with the same half-brother. Since then, Cau left home to go to a deserted place 10 miles away from home to hide until his death. The people of Con Dao call it Hon Cau, because this is the right place where there are lush green areca forests growing.

Meanwhile, the village of Trau daily went to the cliff where the two dated and when he learned that Cau never returned, he threw himself into the sea to commit suicide. The place where Trau committed suicide is called Dam Trau beach. Touched by the love between the Cau man and the Trau woman with an unjust love, the people of Con Dao Co Ong village had a verse: “Who sent a message to Mr. Cau – How far is Hon Cau from Dam Trau beach?”. Dam Trau Beach is a famous place with fine white sand, and large upright rocks reaching out to the sea shaped like a couple talking to each other. In particular, the water at Dam Trau beach is always green and clear.
