Ha Long Bay means "Bay of the Descending Dragon" in the local language. This UNESCO World Heritage site consists of a dense cluster of 3,000 monolithic limestone islands, each crowned with lush jungle vegetation, rising dramatically from the ocean. Many of the islands are hollow and feature enormous caves, while others support floating villages of fishermen who navigate the shallow waters in search of over 200 species of fish and 450 different kinds of mollusks.
Embark on a dreamy cruise around the bay, surrounded by thousands of limestone mountains. Sail through the emerald waters, passing Cho Da (Dog Stone) and Dinh Huong Islet (Incense Burner Islet), a single massive stone shaped like an incense burner, with its four pins visible only at low tide. Next, visit the Fighting-Rooster Islets and Thien Cung Cave (Heaven Palace Cave), where you can admire stunning stalagmites and stalactites. The pathway leading to Thien Cung Cave winds through a thick jungle, guiding you to a dry cave that features a complex inner structure with high ceilings. Experience the breathtaking beauty and unique geological formations of Ha Long Bay, making it a must-visit destination in Vietnam!
