Other names
Before the 15th century, Son Tra was an island amid the sea with three peaks. Later, however, a sand isthmus connects it to the mainland, attributable to the Han River's delta creation and coastal sedimentation. The north, east, and west sides of the mountain are still bordered by water. Geographers refer to this mountain as "Son Tra Peninsula."
Few people know that Son Tra Mountain is also referred to as Monkey Mountain.
