Cruise among the conical peaks and karst pillars of Hạ Long Bay, a World Heritage Site-honored scenic seascape of various limestone landforms modeled into natural arches and towers by coastal erosion. This site features nearly 1,600 mostly uninhabited islands and islets. Legend has it that this is the place from which a mountain dragon plunged into the sea, crushing the land with his powerful tale and leaving behind a scatter of islets. Go kayaking, explore caves, visit a fishing village, or spend the night in an island bungalow. The extreme popularity of the bay among locals and tourists alike has taken a toll on the natural environment-- sometimes the water is so polluted that it is not suitable for swimming or snorkeling.

It is a really nice place. Not clean or swim enticing water. A two day cruise is recommended. The other travelers some might find annoying. All in all, recommended.

Still want to come back Halong after many times I visited the bay. There are many activities from relaxing, visiting the cave, doing kayak or swimming (if the weather is good).
