Description:
Scenic Halong Bay, with its
emerald seas, rests beautifully over the Red River Delta. This region, "the Bay
of the Descending Dragon", is dotted with more than 3,000 mountainous islands,
each with its own unique landscape. The islands are famous for their dolomite
and limestone rock formations, many of which have been given names. Natural
grottos, fjords, land tunnels and inlets are also common. During the Vietnam
Wa
r, numerous large ships sailed through the open waters of the bay and now an
excursion by junk, cruises or fishing boat gives you the memorable experience of
sailing past silent, sea-girt caves and around the spectacular formations,
tasting fresh and authentic Vietnamese cuisines, breathing cool breezing from
the Gulf of Tonkin and enjoying a romantic night with your sweet hearts under
the starry sky. That's all we can say how fantastic Halong is and how amazing
our junk cruise you will feel because it's simply the best that we can offer
you.
