The World Heritage Halong Bay is situated around 144km east of Hanoi in the Gulf of Tonkin. With more than 1,600 islands and islets, dotted with jagged limestone zeniths, it's a standout amongst the most mainstream travel hotspots in Asia.
In Vietnamese ancient history, it actually signifies "descending dragon". As indicated by the legend, when Vietnam was being assaulted by northern intruders, the Jade Emperor sent the Mother Dragon (and her youngsters) to drop to earth and help guard the nation. The Vietnamese gave the name "Halong" to where it initially showed up as an indication of appreciation.
Today Halong Bay is likewise one of the principle vacationer hotspots in Vietnam, accepting more than 6 million voyagers every year, mostly on cruise boats.
