Though Ha Long Bay is a top tourist destination of Vietnam, most of its islands are still well-preserved. To fully explore its majestic attractions, you should spend several days here.
We highly recommend two attractions for you to add to your bucket list.
It is an ideal location for diving and swimming. You will be impressed by its deep grottoes and abundant coral, along with three island lakes. And if you want to reach the caves here, you will need to take a boat trip.
This island is famous for its huge colorful cave that houses a lot of stalagmites as well as stalactites. Notably, some of them are over 20 meters high.
