A bit of history

Historically, Gò Găng was a deserted island with minimal infrastructure, reachable only by boat and lacking municipal water or electricity. Bridge projects starting in 2005 spurred development, and wind power stations were introduced in September 2011. In 2020, provincial officials announced plans to make the island a centerpiece for a new sustainable economic zone, with 57% of the island zoned for urban construction including housing, shopping complexes, and a fishing center.
