Ha Long Bay is located within the Quang Ninh Province of Vietnam. Situated in the Gulf of Tonkin, the site includes some 1600 islands and islets forming a spectacular seascape of limestone pillars in an area of around 1,553 sq km. Because of their precipitous nature, most of the islands are uninhabited and relatively unaffected by human influence.
Ha Long Bay possesses a tremendous diversity of caves and other landforms which derive from the unusual geomorphological process of marine invaded tower karst. In recognition of its remarkable scenic quality, Ha Long Bay was inscribed as a UNESCO natural World Heritage site (1994) and the New7Wonders of Nature (2011).

According to local legend, when the Vietnamese were fighting Chinese invaders, the gods sent a family of dragons to help defend the land. This family of dragons began spitting out jewels and jade. These jewels turned into the islands and islets dotting the bay, linking together to form a great wall against the invaders. The people kept their land safe and formed what later became the country of Vietnam. After that, dragons were interested in peaceful sightseeing of the earth, and then decided to live here. The place where the mother dragon descended was named Hạ Long.

So we took a cruise in the famous UNESCO Heritage Halong Bay. That is pretty much the only way to discover this wander of the world - well, at least in two days and one night.
Vietnam is known for its affordable pricing for many things from trasportation to food, but this cruise was a bit of an exception. And unfortunately the weather never cleared out after the whole trip. However on the second day the weather was somewhat better, sometimes we saw the sun coming out.
The cruise itself was really fantastic - full of peaceful retired people from all over the world. We thoroughly enjoyed its programme from morning tai chi session (obviously all cruises do that) to cooking class. They took us to a cave and a floating village where people actually live above water.
I know it's touristy, but food was very good, and we enjoyed the different exceitment from fast-paced Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh city here. We had a wonderful experience overall.
