Ha
Long Bay, located in the Gulf of Tonkin, covers an
area of 1500 square km. With more than a thousand
limestone peaks soaring from its crystalline emerald
water this area is one of the natural wonders of
Vietnam and now a World Heritage listed site. Visitors
have constantly marvel at Ha Long Bays natural beauty.
The tiny islands are dotted with innumerable beaches
and grottoes created by the wind and the waves that
make a excellent backdrop for swimming or just lazing
about on the boat deck.
