Ha Long Bay
The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ha Long Bay, meaning “where the dragon descended to the sea”, is located in northern Vietnam and most famously known for its beautiful limestone rock formations and escarpments. An area of outstanding natural beauty, picturesque Ha Long Bay has more than 1,000 limestone islets rising from the sea. Within the rock formations themselves are hidden alcoves where sandy beaches and shallow blue waters make for idyllic swimming and relaxation. Its calm waters are also great for boating, kayaking and other aquatic activities. Climb Titov Island or bike ride to the rice paddies close by. Halong is great for picnics, hiking, climbing and other outdoor adventures.
