Scenic Halong Bay, with its emerald seas,
rests beautifully over the Red River Delta. This region,
"the Bay of the Descending Dragon", is dotted with
more than 3,000 mountainous islands, each with its own unique
landscape. The islands are famous for their dolomite and
limestone rock formations, many of which have been given
names. Natural grottos, fjords, land tunnels and inlets are
also common. During the Vietnam War, numerous large ships
sailed through the open waters of the bay and now an excursion
by junk, cruises or fishing boat gives you the memorable
experience of sailing past silent, sea-girt caves and around
the spectacular formations, tasting fresh and authentic
Vietnamese cuisines, breathing cool breezing from the Gulf of
Tonkin and enjoying a romantic night with your sweet hearts
under the starry sky. That's all we can say how fantastic
Halong is and how amazing our junk cruise you will feel
because it's simply the best that we can offer you.
