Halong Bay is one of the world’s natural wonders, with mystical landscape of turquise water and limestone islands. It has more than 3,000 islands. The best way to appreciate this magical scene is from a boat cruising between cliffs. Take a swim in the clear waters and enjoy the fresh seafood from vendors in small boats.
Halong means "where the dragon descends into the sea", in reference to the bay’s legendary origins. According to an ancient tale, Halong Bay was formed by a dragon, which descended from the northern mountains. When the dragon sank into the sea, water flowed into these valleys, leaving thousands of steep peaks.
