Hanoi
Halong Bay
Halong Bay, located about 170 kilometres east of Hanoi near the
most important North Vietnamese port city of Haiphong, is of a
breathtaking scenic beauty. More than 3,000 islands, islets
and limestone rocks rise from the waters of the bay. The coast
is rocky and perforated by numerous caves and grottoes with ancient
stalactite and stalagmite formations. Halong Bay has a
fairylike landscape and has indeed for centuries inspired Vietnamese
poets.
