Halong Bay: A Must-Visit Natural World Heritage Site!

✨️ Halong Bay, part of the Gulf of Tonkin, is not far from Hanoi. It's a perfect destination to follow a trip to Sapa, balancing your Northern Vietnam journey with both mountains and the sea. ✨️✨️ A UNESCO-certified natural World Heritage site. 🏖️ The sea boasts stunning blue waters and numerous limestone karsts. Activities include cruising around the bay, strolling along the beach, or exploring the magnificent stalactites and stalagmites in the limestone caves, such as the Heavenly Cave. 🍛 The buffet on the boat is decent, offering a variety of dishes, though not overly flavorful. For example, boiled shrimp with salt and pepper dip 😬. 💞 Every photo you take will look as stunning as those on the internet. The sea, mountains, and boats are all picture-perfect. 🗓️ You can visit year-round, but be mindful of the monsoon season.
