Ha Long Bay
Ha Long, which literally means “dragon descends into the sea”, is a bay consisting of about 2000 karsts and islets. These are mostly limestones and emerged in the emerald waters of the Gulf of Tonkin. Ha Long Bay was designated as a World Heritage site in 1994 and was chosen as one of the new seven natural wonders of the world.
