Ha Long
Ha Long Bay is located in Quang Ninh province. The bay features thousands of limestone karsts and islets of various sizes and shapes.
This is one of Vietnam's most beautiful areas located about 160 kilometers east of Hanoi. Ha long Bay was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1994 for its natural scenery of limestone and grottoes. According to legend, the bay's beautiful scenery was carved out by a dragon, as he made his flight seawards. The bay is best enjoyed by a leisurely excursion by boat, with stops to explore its fascinating limestone formations. Ha long Bay is a fairylike landscape and has for centuries inspired Vietnamese poets.
