Describe a place in your country that you would like to recommend to visitors/travelers
You should say: What it is
Where it is
What people can do there
And explain why you would like to recommend it to visitors/travelers

Viet Nam actually lies on the bucket list of many travelers due to having many beautiful natural landscapes. And the
very well-known tourist destination I would like to talk about today is Ha Long Bay which is a UNESCO HERITAGE SITE
as well
Ha Long Bay is located in the Quang Ninh province in northern VietNam. It is a must-see city for many reasons. When
setting foot in the Bay, the tourists are surprised with the biodiversity here. There are thousands of limestone karts and
islets in various (wrong pronunciation) shapes and sizes (missing ending sound /iz/) together creating a tropical evergreen
biosystem and a seashore (sh) biosystem. However, not only the landscapes attract millions of tourists to the bay but also
the professional and whole-hearted services. If you are a dynamic traveler and full of energy, Ha Long Bay is the optional
choice. During your holiday, the Bay provides many activities, such as taking tríp to caves and floating villages, cruising
through the bay, scenic (wrong pronunciation) flight, kayaking ..etc. All service come with very reasonable price.
I had a summer holiday in Ha Long Bay last year and can't wait to have more experiences.
In conclusion, HaLong Bay with its prideful recognitions deserve being a favorite place in the visitor’s travel list.
