Halong Bay |

|
Halong Bay is one of the most
magnificent scenic spots in all of
Vietnam and was designated by UNESCO as
a World Natural Heritage in 1994. It is
a picturesque bay with some 3000 islets
rising from the clear emerald waters of
the Gulf of Tonkin. Washed by water and
lapped by waves for hundreds of
thousands of years, the limestone basin
has been carved into stalactite caves,
crescent beaches and odd-shaped
formations. Halong Bay is also famous
for its varied ecological system with
thousands of kinds of fish, hundreds of
sorts of coral and other sea creatures.
Moreover, the global value of Halong Bay
in terms of geological process has been
highly appreciated. In late 2000, UNESCO
acknowledged Halong Bay as being a kast
geological foundation, a second World
Heritage criterion. Halong Bay really
becomes a must in the trip to Vietnam.
Halong City
The Cua Luc Straits divide Halong City
into 2 parts: Bai Chay and Hon Gai. For
the time being, in order to cross the
straits, visitors have to take a ferry
boat. In the near future, a suspension
bridge of 903m in length will be built
to connect the 2 sides of the city. Hon
Gai used to be a coal-exporting port and
is now one of the most important
commercial centers for transporting
passengers and goods in northeastern
Vietnam. Bai Chay is a low gently
sloping range of hills running along the
sea for 3kms. It was planned to be a
windward seaside resort in the French
colonial time. Now with many
international standard hotels,
recreational parks, green trees and
white sand, Bai Chay has become one of
the most beautiful beaches in Vietnam
