Junks on Halong Bay

Halong Bay, Vietnam

 

Legend has it that a dragon thrashed his gigantic tail and created the 3 thousand islands and outcroppings of Halong Bay. UNESCO has recognized it as a World Nature Heritage Site.

Traditional junks trawl for fish here and it is possible to take boat excursions to many of Halong Bay's islands and caves.
