Ha
Long Bay is easily Vietnam’s top tourist destination and brings in thousands of
tourists daily during the peak season. There
are many cruise companies that offer 2 day/1 night or 3 day/2 night cruises
through the bay and this is by far the most popular way to tour this area. Known for its beauty, Ha Long Bay is
scattered with thousands of forest-topped, karst limestone islands that reach out
of its blue waters into the heavens. Its
ethereal beauty is something you would only expect to see on a movie screen and
it in fact has been featured in a small handful of movies; namely the recent King
Kong: Skull Island. It has also been
recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its outstanding geological and
geomorphological value, as well as its aesthetic value.
