The group has worked to preserve the island's natural beauty and biodiversity, and an ecological park is also planned in a large area adjacent to the Bach Dang River, where tourists can enjoy outdoor activities that allow them to remain close to nature and green spaces. Further, a conservation area will be built to improve the quality of the landscape and act to protect the environment.

Additionally, a 1.5 km cable car system has been built to connect the mainland and the island.

Group vice president Nguyen Viet Quang said that Hai Phong has become one of the key areas of the group's investment.

He added that once it has been completed in 2020, the complex will become an important economic center, creating jobs and contributing to the socio-economic development of not only Hai Phong city, but also the surrounding areas.— VNS
