NaturalezaHạ Long Bay cruise
Junks and wooden boats sail between the limestone islands — caves, floating villages and sunsets over jade water are the rhythm of days at sea.
🖼 5 fotosSome two thousand islands rise from jade water — the most famous seascape in Việt Nam.
Sobre Quảng Ninh
Two thousand limestone islands pierce the waters of Hạ Long Bay — Việt Nam's most famous seascape, where junks sail between karst peaks and every dawn feels like stepping into a classical scroll. The province reaches from Hạ Long proper to Móng Cái on the Chinese border, island-studded all the way.
Beyond the bay's main routes, there's Yên Tử mountain rising steeped in temple history, Bái Tử Long's wider quieter waters to the east, and the remote Cô Tô island for those who escape the main crowds. Most visitors come for the cruises and overnight junks, but the province rewards deeper exploration.

A sacred peak ~1,100m high with temple ruins on its slopes — climbers reach the summit in a day from Hạ Long.
CulturaFloating villages
Wooden stilt hamlets anchored in the bay — working fisher communities, fish farms and boat-side noodle stops.

A remote fishing island reached by fast ferry — rocky coasts, quiet beaches and a strong sense of escape.
Comer y beber
Squid grilled
Fresh squid from the morning's catch, grilled over charcoal with a squeeze of lime — the bay's simplest, best seafood.
Hạ Long seafood soup
A broth loaded with fish, shrimp, squid and crab — ordered boat-side as you float past islands.
Seaweed salad
Fresh seaweed harvested from the rocks, tossed with herbs and fish sauce — tangy and refreshing.
