Located in the Northeast of Quang Ninh province, Co To island district has a natural area of ​​over 47 km2, a population of about 6,700 people, with more than 30 large and small islands; of which, the 3 largest islands are Co To, Thanh Lan and Tran island (also known as Chan island or Chang Tay).

This is one of the outposts, with an extremely important position in terms of politics, economics, defense, security and foreign affairs... in the Northeast sea of ​​the Fatherland.

Co To has the ancient name of Chang Son (Chang Mountain). Since ancient times, this place has been a shelter for boats and fishermen in the Northeast sea, but has not become a settlement because it is always harassed by pirates.

In 1832, Hai An Governor Nguyen Cong Tru asked the court to establish villages and communes and assign people to manage and guard against invaders from the sea. After peace was restored in the North (1954), our Party and State advocated the establishment of a district-level administrative unit on Co To Island.

On May 9, 1961, President Ho Chi Minh visited Co To and this was the first place to erect a full-body statue of President Ho while he was still alive.

The terrain in Co To is tectonic: the middle part is high, surrounded by hills, low mountains and narrow fields, along the islands there are sandy beaches, rocky beaches and small bays, the land is mainly phelarite soil on sandstone. The economic model of Co To island district is agriculture-forestry-fishery and tourism services, in which the main focus is on fishing and seafood processing.

Currently, Co To focuses on developing tourism services and this sector is gradually affirming its leading role in the economic structure, as this place is considered an attractive tourist destination with the wild beauty of clear water beaches, gentle shores and a tropical primeval forest ecosystem that is almost completely preserved.

Co To sea area is also considered the leading biodiversity area in Vietnam with the presence of many typical ecosystems of tropical seas, including concentrated coral reef ecosystems.

In the coming time, on the basis of continuing to thoroughly grasp and effectively implement the Resolution of the 8th Central Committee (12th tenure) on the Strategy for sustainable development of Vietnam's marine economy to 2030, with a vision to 2045 and the overall development of Quang Ninh province, Co To will focus on developing in the direction of openness, integration, with a long-term vision, appropriate steps, ensuring rapid, effective and sustainable development.

Co To will attract resources for focused investment and development of advantageous industries. Focus on synchronous infrastructure construction; implement preferential and open mechanisms and policies to attract investors to develop production and business on the island.

At the same time, take economic development as the basis to strengthen national defense, security, protect the area and take national defense and security as the premise for economic development, strive to turn Co To into a "National-level sea and island eco-tourism resort" and also an extremely important outpost for national defense and security in the Northeast sea of ​​the Fatherland.
