Ha Long Natural heritage

The first time I visited here by the boat with day trip. It was not interesting for me because so dirty, so much trash and people sell souvenir stuffs around.
When I see they offer helicopters and seaplanes to enjoy the bay from above, I decided to give a try and I love it. The view is incredible! The trip also show me a part of that city too, so beautiful. Total flying time will be roundly 30 minutes.

Beautiful destination!
It’s worth it to take a cruise tour to observe such a beauty. It has become one of the 7 natural wonders in the world. Must see if you visit Vietnam.

Hạ Long Bay is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a popular travel destination in Vietnam. The name means “descending dragon” in Vietnamese.

The bay features thousands of limestone karsts and islets in various shapes and sizes.

It has a rich biodiversity and a long history of human settlement. Hạ Long Bay is a natural wonder that attracts millions of visitors every year.

Simply breath taking. A must see when you visit vietnam. Book a cruise to Ha Long Bay so you can experience its beauty.

It's really Heaven on Earth..... Can't describe with words.... just see the pictures I've uploded( I'm a ametuare photographer with my phone).... One will surely fall in love with the natural beauty...... Must visit.....

Unbelievable place...
Must visit in vietnam. If you are solo traveler then book day trip to Hanoi. Price of Hanoi to Hanoi round trip is around 1 million dong including Hanoi to ha long bay by bus, cruise, ha long bay entry ticket, lunch, snacks, boat ride & back to your hotel.
This is totally value for money.

A stunning place to visit with an enjoyable boat ride to explore the surrounding caves!

Ha Long Bay is the highlight and a must-visit spot in Vietnam. It was mesmerizing to experience the tranquil surroundings of the bay with a relaxing boat tour. Alternatively, visitors can also choose to experience the sea kayak expedition to explore the different caves.

Ha Long Bay is otherworldly place on Earth situated in the Northern coast of Vietnam. The karst formation of geological limestone rises from the ocean due to ecological evolution in last 20 million years. The scenary stretches across 1553 Sq. Km. & contains 1969 megalithic islets. Ha Long Bay literally means 'descending dragon' in Vietnamese. This UNESCO World Heritage is home for over 20 species of flora & fauna.

This is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and popular travel destination in Quang Ninh Province, Vietnam. It is a beautiful natural wonder in northern Vietnam near the Chinese border

The limestone karst in Hạ Long Bay has developed over 20 million years. It was once beneath an ocean. Going inside the hollow interior of a karst was unforgettable. There’s no such thing as stress in Hạ Long Bay, friends.

Mystique... Splendid... Out of the world..no pollution no honks..only in the lap of mother nature..limestone and rock islands..cave..local sea food..night stay at bay..thats a wonderful adventure

Baautiful Place, a MUST for all who come to Vietnam go. To Ha Long Bay

Great experience and one of the most beautiful places to visit, so peaceful.

Mesmerising view and a must place to visit! The weather is a bit cloudy in December but during summer’s this place will be good place to chill put

Words can describe the beauty of this magnificent place in Hanoi. As they say ,your visit to Vietnam is incomplete without your visit to Halong Bay . True to every word , this is undoubtedly one of the wonders of world and one must visit to experience this natural marvel

Very beautiful place, but cruises are polluting the bay

On a cruise around halong bay, looks incredible during the day, but very sad a night as there was loads of rubbish in the sea that flows at night

This is a breathtaking place. One of the most amazing places, I've had the occasion to see. The day I visited, it was breathtaking just after a typhoon. Had spells of rain interspersed with sunshine. Truly a world heritage place. Hopefully they are able to cut down on plastic litter....

It’s definitely become a tourist attraction as is most places now a days. However it’s still majestic. If you can ignore the crowds and simply take in nature as it is you find yourself in awe. The views from your big boat are nice but take time to get in a canoe. You really see the scale of things up close and there’s something incredibly calming on the water. The journey from Hanoi is rather long but when you’re floating beneath a massive with the lights reflecting off the water and onto the rocks, it’s all worth it.

Stunning Landscapes with Unique Rock Formations
A group of 7 of us visited Ha Long Bay on a day tour on 16th January 2018. We embarked the boat at the wharf on Tuan Chau Island at about 1030 am after travelling in a tour bus for 170 km from Hanoi. The guide purchased the tickets for the tour. Though we were not offered life jackets I presume they are available should the need arise.
When we visited on 16th January 2018, though it did not rain, unfortunately the sky was somewhat gloomy with the reddish yellow sun filtering through the grey clouds. The weather was quite comfortable at a temperature of around 20 degrees centigrade.
The guide explained to us that Ha Long Bay is a World Heritage Site due to its unique geological formations and magnificent glorious limestone formations rising above the waters as well as due to historical and cultural importance. He explained that “Ha Long” in Vietnamese means “Descending Dragon”. The origin of “Ha Long” relates to a Vietnamese legend. When Vietnam was invaded by the enemy, the Jade Emperor, a supreme deity, despatched the Mother Dragon together with her child dragons to protect the people. These dragons emitted pearls of various sizes that were transformed to rocks rising out of the sea creating a wall of islands on to which the enemy vessels crashed. After the Vietnamese won the war the dragons stayed back and the place where the mother dragon descended is the “Ha Long” bay.
As we saw from the number of boats on the river it is also a very popular destination for tourists both local and foreign. Ha Long Bay has developed significantly over the years geared mainly towards tourism. The many rocks rising out of the sea are magnificent and a must see. The two little rocks resembling a “cock fight” attracted me most. Another of these rocks appear in the 20000 dong currency note.
