The Hon Kho sea-crossing road is approximately 500 meters long, connecting two mountain ranges. Hon Kho is located in Hai Dong village, Nhon Hai commune, 16km from the center of Quy Nhon city. The best time to see the Hon Kho sea-crossing road is from March to September; however, the exact time should be asked of local residents, as the road's appearance is not fixed and depends on the tide.

Locals don't know when the road was built or what materials it's made of. Several theories have been put forward to explain this mysterious road. Some suggest it could be a rare geological phenomenon, where layers of sedimentary rock formed in a unique way, creating such a flat and wide surface. Another theory leans towards the possibility that it's an ancient coral reef, which has undergone fossilization and erosion over thousands of years, resulting in its unusual shape.

There is also a theory that these are traces of human hands, evidence of some distant civilization that once existed and flourished in this land.

On days when the tide recedes, visitors can walk along the rocky wall, getting closer to Hon Kho Island, and admire the colorful coral reefs hidden beneath the clear water. The path is covered with a thick layer of moss, but strangely, it's not slippery at all when you walk on it; it feels soft and smooth like velvet.
