Halong bay travel
Ha Long Bay is located in northern Vietnam, east of Hai Phong City on the way to Mong Cai on the China Border. The scenery of Halong Bay is fantastic - awesome in fact. Halong Bays status has changed dramatically since it was named a World Heritage Site in 1994. Once a sleepy port, it now attracts thousands of tourists from all corners of the globe.
The Vietnamese call it "Vinh Halong" meaning "Bay of the Descending Dragon". The bay was named after a local legend which tells of a Dragon descending from the sky and spitting out thousands of pearls when Vietnam was being attacked by overseas ships. The pearls turned into a string of islands, stopping the foreign ships from landing on Vietnam's mainland.
These rocks are largely limestone and spread out over a large area. Some of the formations have images in them such as the "Dog Rock" and "Two Cocks Fighting".
In one area of the bay a floating village has come to life. People spend almost all their time on their houseboats - making a living, raising families and doing their daily chores.
Of course, enjoying Halong Bay is best done by boat! Halong Bay junks are built in the traditional South Asian style with modern on-board amenities. They accommodate 10 - 30 guests in 5 to 15 sleeping cabins. Some may even have a luxury cabin or two. A restaurant/lounge and a sun deck are standard. Traditional Vietnamese food is served. Guests can enjoy swimming from the boat or beach. Standard cruises are 2-3 days, although arrangements can be made for a private charter.
A visit to Halong Bay will convince you of the decision to name it a World Heritage Site.
