Halong Bay, a World Heritage Site in northern Vietnam, is renowned for its towering limestone karsts, emerald waters, and island-studded landscape with over two thousand jungle-covered islands. It is a must-destination for nature lovers, peace seekers, and adventure junkies.
Immursed in local myths, Halong Bay—"Descending Dragon Bay"—is said to have been formed by dragons defending Vietnam. With not much urban history, its mystical allure is in mystical caves, floating fishing communities, and ancient cultural tales relayed throughout the area.
Halong Bay presents floating life—where generations of fishermen have lived totally on water. Although not a center of traditional arts, boat architecture and seafood cuisine mirror a culture constructed in harmony with the natural environment.
