About Ha Long Bay | Vietnam's Must-Visit UNESCO World Heritage Site
Ha Long Bay features over 1,600 limestone islands that rise from the emerald sea like natural sculptures, creating a landscape that feels like a fairyland. This extraordinary destination was officially listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994. Due to its striking similarity to the scenery in Guilin, China, it is often celebrated as "Guilin on the Sea," and holds prestigious titles such as "Switzerland of the East" and the "Wonder of Southeast Asia." Beyond its unique natural beauty, the bay is steeped in local legends and history, making it one of Vietnam's most iconic landmarks. To travel to Vietnam without visiting Ha Long Bay is to miss the true essence of the country's natural wonder.
