Three-wheeler Tourists, transport, Quan Lan Island, Hue City, Co To Island The three-wheeler is a rudimentary means of transport. Visitors to Quan Lan Island in Quang Ninh Province are surprised to see each carrying 8-10 person. 2. Cyclo Tourists, transport, Quan Lan Island, Hue City, Co To Island The Cyclo (cycle rickshaw) is also a unique means of transport that has become very popular in central Hue City and at many tourism sites across the country. It’s high enough for two tourists on a sight-seeing tour. 3.
