The Hidden Gem of Nature - Halong Bay
With its incredible archipelago of islands towering from misty water, Halong Bay takes the
breath away with its strange yet bewitching appeal. These 3,000 naturally-formed limestone
pillars, called karst, are what make Halong Bay a special place not found anywhere else in the
world, and acknowledged by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1994. Right here, you can
