There are so many picuresque in vietnam but i like ha long bay most.

Located in the Gulf of Tonkin, Ha


Long Bay may be the most beautiful destination in Southeast Asia.

Acknowledged by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1994, Ha Long Bay is considered one of the New
Seven Wonders of Nature by global poll. The name Ha Long, which means descending dragon, comes
from an ancient tale. In the story, there was once a dragon descending from the sky and dropping
thousands of pearls which later became islands and islets with different sizes and shapes that emerged
from the water surface. Some of them possess distinctive shapes like Trong Mai islet, Oan islet, or Ga
Choi islet. These became the main attractions when sailing around the bay. Some famous islands like Co
To, Tuan Chau, Ti Top, and Quan Lan have breathtaking views of emerald water and unspoiled sand
which have become the best destinations for most foreign and domestic visitors.

In addition to more than 1,600 islands and islets, there are many splendid caves and grottos scattered
around the bay such as Thien Cung, Dau Go, Luon, Sung Sot caves and more. Those have become well-
known all over the world for their spectacular beauty and outstanding geological value.

Visitors coming to Ha Long Bay can also have a variety of cruise itineraries to choose from. They vary
from visiting grottos and caves to going to some fishing villages like Cua Van to experience the life of
local fishermen on floating houses and enjoy fresh seafood prepared right on the ship.

Someone arriving in Ha Long Bay cannot miss out on the local cuisine – abundant seafood and some
distinctive dishes like Ca Say Tien Yen, Nem Chao Quang Yen, and Gat Gu cake. The freshness of seafood
and the authentic style of cooking always leave deep impressions on any travelers that visit..

Renowned as a Natural World Heritage Site and endowed with beautiful nature and abundant
resources, Ha Long Bay has been and is still on the list of the most magnificent places on earth. It truly is
Vietnam's precious pearl in the Gulf of Tonkin.
