Halong Bay


Halong Bay is one of the most beautiful natural settings I've ever been in. It's a huge complex of thousands of small islets and one of the biggest tourist attractions in Northern Vietnam. We left early in the afternoon on a small boat with 15 other tourists and went all day along and around the many rock formations. We ended the afternoon by anchoring and swimming in these really impressive waters! We later watched the sunset and spent the night on the boat. The next morning we woke up in a floating village in the site and rode around more before getting dropped off on the mainland.



Here's where we anchored, swam, and spent the night. It was too cool

Ariel, thank you for such beautiful pictures of Haylong Bay. I sent it to my whole family and the replies have been many- all loved the pictures. My daughter in law Ana wants to develop the picture of the bay with the boat city and the rock formations. Keep taking pictures.
Love and keep safe,
