Details About Halong Bay

Destinations » Asia » Southeast Asia » Halong Bay


Halong Bay is located on the northern coast of Vietnam. The spectacular bay features thousands of limestone islands and rocks rising from tranquil turquoise waters and offers some of the most beautiful scenery in Asia. According to legend, a great dragon, twisting and thrashing his way into the sea, gouged out the seascapes of Halong Bay. The result is pure fantasy.
