According to legend, Ha Long Bay was formed when a dragon descended into the sea. What better way to explore this magical landscape than aboard a romantic junk?

Trip to north Vietnam could not be considered complete without a trip to Ha Long Bay, a picturesque blend of sky and sea, spotted with gem-like islands, a beauty spot on earth. The bay's tranquil beauty encompasses 1.500 square miles dotted with well over 100 limestone islands and islets. Bizarre rock sculptures jutting dramatically from the sea and numerous grottoes have created an enchanted, timeless world. The name Ha Long means the landing dragon, according to a legend that thousands of year ago, a mother dragon and her children descended in the bay.

The world famous UNESCO World Heritage "Halong Bay" is located here. Halong Bay is special because there are thousands of small islands which rise from the sea-limestone peaks which have names like Big Chicken, Fighting Cocks, and Archway to Heaven.

Many tourists will come and take boat tours around these islands, sleep on the boat and watch the stars at night. The Bay is rich with many kinds of fish, coral and anemones-some which glow in the night waters. When you are sleeping on a boat it is so peaceful and you feel you are in a very special place.
