Description

Hạ Long Bay, located in the Quảng Ninh Province of Vietnam, features towering limestone pillars and tiny islands topped by rich, green forests that rise from its beautiful waters. Halong translates as 'where the dragon descends into the sea' and local legend suggests that this seascape was created when a great mountain dragon charged towards the coast, its flailing tail gouging out the valleys and crevasses in its path.
