Ha Long Bay - One of the Greatest Natural Wonders of the World
As a UNESCO World Heritage Site (recognised twice in 1994 and 2000) and a natural wonder of the
world, Ha Long Bay features thousands of limestone islands and cliffs, emerging from the sea. If you
have not visited Ha Long Bay, you have not yet seen the most beautiful place in the world. Located
180 kilometres northeast of Ha Noi, it takes around 4 hours to get there by coach. There are 1969
limestone islands of various shapes, sizes in different green and amazing colours rising above the sea
level in an area of more than 1,500 square kilometres. Ha Long Bay still keeps its historical and
cultural value.
Ha Long Bay is attractive and beautiful throughout the four seasons. Travelling on small boats among
hundreds of small islands, one may visit the amazing Surprise Cave, the floating fishing village, and see
how the locals live. On Titov Island, one may swim and relax on the beach or enjoy a kayak cruise to
the nearby Luon Cave. One can take a cruise from the harbour and cross Ha Long Bay in luxury cabins
with ocean views and private balconies. You will have fresh air all day and night, especially when you
wake up early in the morning and watch the sunrise on the deck. You can continue your trip to
explore the caves and grottoes, heading over to Bai Tu Long Bay and Lan Ha Bay, trekking in Cat Ba
National Park, rock climbing, kayaking, and watching some of the most amazing sunsets that you’ll
ever set eyes on.
