About Ha Long Bay
Ha Long Bay scatters well over a thousand limestone islands across emerald water in northern Vietnam, a seascape best explored slowly by boat.
The bay's towering karst islands and islets, many draped in jungle, rise sheer from the water of the Gulf of Tonkin. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is best seen on a cruise, ideally overnight, gliding past formations such as the Fighting Cocks and stopping at floating fishing villages where life is lived on rafts and boats.
Top-ranked sights in Ha Long Bay: Lan Ha Bay (Vinh Lan Ha), Surprise Cave (Hang Sung Sot), Titop Island (Dao Titop).
