About four hours east of Hanoi is a UNICEF World Heritage Site and one of the new Natural Wonders of the World. HaLong Bay is an area of the South China Sea with remarkable limestone karsts. It is a very popular tourist destination (as you can see from all the tour boats)!
We spent one night on a boat amidst this beautiful landscape. We had hoped to spend a second night but a typhoon moving into the area brought wind and rain which forced all boats to leave the area. Our evening entertainment was to watch the thunder and lightening from our cabin while the movie KONG 2017 was playing on our TV. The movie was filmed in Vietnam and HaLong Bay. It was a memorable movie!
The Bay also has many large limestone caves that give an interesting afternoon adventure and beautiful views of the landscape.
