On June 27, the People's Committee of Quang Ngai province submitted a proposal to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism to rank the To Vo gate (Tay An Vinh village, Ly Son district) as a national relic.
To Vo Gate was formed from the eruption of Gieng Tien volcano (Ly Son district). Volcanic lava created a thick basalt layer at the location of To Vo Gate.

Over time, the basalt layer of To Vo Gate was broken by sea waves, creating a hole in the middle layer of rock. This hole has the shape of a wasp's nest.
To Vo Gate is about 20m long, the top of the gate is 4m higher than the sea surface, the narrowest point is about 2m wide.
With its wild, unique, distinct, exclusive beauty and high recognition, To Vo Gate is one of the famous landscapes of Quang Ngai province and Vietnam.
In addition to the To Vo Gate on land, there is another stone arch located off the coast of Be Island in Ly Son sea. This stone arch was discovered by archaeologists in 2014. The stone arch was formed from volcanic lava, with a structure identical to the To Vo Gate on land.
The lava mass that forms the arch is nearly 100m long, with the roof measuring about 20m. The highest point of the arch is about 5m from the seabed.
Ly Son is an island district of Quang Ngai province, 17 nautical miles from the mainland. The district has an area of about 10 square kilometers and a population of about 22,000 people.
Ly Son district includes Big Island and Small Island. This area has traces of 10 craters, of which 3 craters are located on the seabed.
Ly Son Island has many ancient volcanic craters, beautiful beaches, and pristine landscapes. In addition, Ly Son is also famous for its fresh seafood, especially garlic. On average, Ly Son Island welcomes about 250,000 tourists each year.
