Hung Thang is a newer district of hotels and apartment towers on the west bank of Ha Long, just west of Bai Chay, and the property sits on the bay's sandy shore. Marina Bay Beach is 50 m away, Paradise Bay Beach 1.7 km and Bai Chay Beach 3 km, so the sand is a short walk away and the coast is the main draw of the area. The streets around the property are lined with apartment blocks and newer hotels, which gives the area a more modern feel than the older city centre on the other side of the strait, at Hon Gai.

For everyday needs, Cafe Sunshine and Eleven Coffee are within 400 m, and Cái Dăm Market, a local market where you can buy fresh food and supplies, is 2.1 km away. Bai Chay Bus Terminal is 2.5 km away for buses to other parts of Ha Long, and Cat Bi International Airport is 30.9 km away, so allow extra time for the transfer from the airport.

For a day out, Thien Cung Cave is 4.7 km away, with its illuminated chambers of limestone formations, and the Ga Đại Dương cable car station, at 4.9 km, offers views over the bay. Families can also head to Tuan Chau Park, a theme park 3.3 km away on the island joined to the mainland by a causeway.
