About Halong Bay: The Bay of the Descending Dragon
"Halong" literally translates to "Descending Dragon," a name that reflects the legendary and majestic nature of Vietnam's most iconic natural wonder. This sprawling bay is home to over 1,600 limestone islands and islets, each cloaked in lush greenery and rising like ancient sculptures from the emerald-green waters.
As a UNESCO Double World Heritage Site, Halong Bay is celebrated not only for its poetic beauty but also for its significant geological value. Often described as a "Living Geological Museum," its unique karst topography, hidden lagoons, and enchanted caves represent millions of years of nature's grand artistry.
