The final Vietnam destination. Located in the northeast, Halong Bay is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The spectacular bay consists of some 3000 islands rising from the water. The tourism and promotional material show it in all its glory with blue, clear skies. However, it’s exceptionally mysterious when shrouded in fog, a real pirates cove!
Happy that I made the trip there, even if only a day. The bus trip was a total of seven hours, with 5 hours sailing around a very small part of the bay. It’s enough to give you a flavour of the area.
The final Vietnam destination. It’s been 17 days, but I’ve managed to squeeze in a lot of sites from the very southern tip of Vietnam to the very northern where Vietnam meets the Chinese border at Lao Cai.
