Spectacular Landscape
Ha Long means descending dragon for the Vietnamese. According to a legend when Viet people faced invasion, a dragon flied down from heaven for their defense. The creature not only spread fire but emeralds & jewels that became the archipelago which we know as Ha Long Bay. My bucket list contains many countries but there are some genuine ones, which can satisfy a tourists travel appetite. Vietnam belongs to that category. We started with North Vietnam. I would say North Vietnam is the Jewel of entire southeast Asia. The mountains, islands, scenes which one gets in North Vietnam just outcasts the South. Don't be afraid to Spurge money on Halong Bay Cruise. We went for 5 star overnight Luxury cruise, thanks to Purva. Day Cruise is more like a school trip. When one goes for overnight cruise, he gets to see many unexplored islands. Also the sunset and sunrise views are out of the world. Using websites like Klook, Grab one can save money smartly. But don't compromise ...
