Ha-Long Bay

One of the main attractions of Ha long is the bay's calm water and the thousands of limestone mountains dotting the seascape.

Ha Long Bay, in the Gulf of Tonkin, includes some 1,600 islands and islets, forming a spectacular seascape of limestone pillars. Because of their precipitous nature, most of the islands are uninhabited and unaffected by a human presence. The site's outstanding scenic beauty is complemented by its great biological interest.
