Описание: H - Halong Bay

Polled as one of the New 7 Wonders of the World and recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Halong Bay is one of the top tourist destinations on a North Vietnam itinerary. Consisting of over 1,600 islands, this city showcases some of the world’s most stunning seascapes and landscapes.

Rent a scooter from Hanoi or join a tour to explore the wonders of Halong Bay. Embark on a boat tour through its islets, discover hidden caves and delightful vistas, or just relax on one of the beautiful beaches. For those who are more adventurous, you can also go kayaking in the emerald waters of Halong Bay.

Many visitors opt to stay overnight on one of the larger islands in the bay, Cat Ba Island. Other attractions include cave systems like Thien Canh Son Cave and Sung Sot Cave, an amusement park, and opportunities to experience local culture through visits to floating villages.

As you cruise through the endless expanse of limestone islands, you’ll find four fishing villages housing only a few thousand people; leaving most other isles untouched by mankind. But, brimming with other wildlife, Halong bay is home to a broad spectrum of biodiversity. An impressive array of animals, including hundreds of mollusks and fish species, and various other creatures such as hawks, monkeys, lizards, and frogs, call this area home.

Every year, the streets of Halong Bay come alive with vibrant colors and festivities as tourists from far and wide gather to celebrate “Halong Carnival”. Every year brings a different theme that celebrates the traditional values of this bay – filled with crafted costumes worn by performers dancing in joyous parades alongside illuminated laser displays, stirring music performances, and shimmering fireworks shows!
