Ha Long Bay is located in Quang Ninh Province, northeast Vietnam, just 180 km east of Hannoi; surrounded by Bai Tu Long Bay, Lan Ha Bay, Cat Ba Island, Tuan Chau Island and Ha Long City. While Ha Long is not a large area, it packs some 1,600 limestone islands and islets into its 1,553km2. Limestone towers, green islands and islets boast karst caves, caverns and grottoes, many hidden and still waiting to be discovered. Some islands are completely hollow. Framing the islands are gorgeous beaches, the emerald sea lapping gently on the soft, white sand. The Bay was first recorded as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994 thanhks to its exceptional natural beauty and aesthetic importance. In 2000, it had the honour of being recognised the second time for its significant geomorphic features, as a billion-year-living proof of Earth's formation.
Many travellers are unaware that Ha Long Bay actually has an immense value to the world because of its rare concentration of biodiversity, culture and history. Hence, this uniqueness is exactly what makes Ha Long Bay a magical destination where travellers cannot wait to visit it. Cruising the green islands is the only way to truly experience Ha Long Bay. On a wooden junk or cruise vessel, you can take in the picture-perfect serenity of the area from balcony, sun deck and the front of the boat in complete luxury.
