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.

Attractions

Visitors can serenely sail through the exotic bay, swim in the clear waters or explore the caves and grottoes on the larger islands. Theres not much to do here other than admire the views. Halong Bay has inspired poets for centuries and is an essential part of a visit to Northern Vietnam and makes a delightful and romantic little trip.

Shopping

Souvenir items will be available on the junks. Some enterprising locals may also paddle their canoes out to the ship and offer shells and other items for sale. Note that the shells are usually fresh and may have an odor; you may not be allowed to bring them into your home country.

Currency

The Viet Nam Dong is the currency in Vietnam (VND).
