Trip to northern Vietnam is incomplete without a sojourn to breathtaking Ha Long Bay which often called the eighth natural wonder of the world. This archipelago which located in the Golf of Tonkin is characterized by thousands of unique limestone and dolomite islands that rise jaggedly from the water like a dragon’s scales. In fact, Ha Long means Where the dragon descends into the sea, and the bay is said to have been created when a giant dragon thrashed its way out to sea to halt the intrusion of enemy navies.

One day is plenty of time to experience Ha Long Bay and appreciate the epic grandeur of the area. Out on the water, on a large comfortable Chinese style junk you’ll float amongst the same grottos that have been capturing the imaginations of visitors for centuries, and in the floating villages of the area you’ll catch a glimpse of a totally different way of life.
