In Vietnam, travelers should visit Ha Long Bay. That’s an incredibly beautiful and mysterious place. Many amazing legends are associated with it. Literally, the name of the bay can be translated as the place where the dragon plunged into the sea. The picturesque bay embraces more than 3 000 rocky islets. One of the legends tells that a great dragon who lived in the mountains made them.

Ha Long Bay, Vietnam Tourists come to this wonderful place because of its unique atmosphere of national color. You can rest in the serene environment on the shore of the bay and observe plying fishing vessels for hours. You can rent a boat for yourself to explore scenic islands. A water trip along the coast is going to be incredibly exciting, as you can see a lot of picturesque rocks and find mysterious caves.

There are quite large islands in the bay that are suitable for hiking. One of the largest and most comfortable is the island of Tuan Chau. It features numerous old buildings, including the former residence of Ho Chi Minh. Currently, it’s planned to build a modern resort there. Fans of natural attractions show interest to Cat Ba.
