Despite the fact that it is a small Island, but still, it is one of the most beautiful Islands in Bay and is considered favorite among the Halong tourists. The Island has stunning sceneries and mouth-watering landscapes which can be easily viewed from the vantage point in the center of Titop Island.

Story to trace the genesis of its name is quite interesting. Its present name is kept after Soviet Cosmonaut Gherman Titov. Previously it was called Cat Nang Island. Gherman Titov landed the spaceship called Vostok 2 in 1961 and earned the title of the very second person to orbit around the earth. Titov paid a visit to Halong Bay and then in particular of this Island in 1962. He was accompanied by the most respected leader of Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh. He discussed the plan with the people settled over the Island and in a gesture of friendship, between the Russian regime and Vietnam named the Island in respect of his brave guest. Gherman came back to this Island again in 1997 to pay an emotional to the place named after him. In visitor’s book, he remarked that Thanks to God that he gave me yet another opportunity to return to Titop Island.
