Lan Ha is a highly serene gulf-shaped bay spreading over a range of more than 7,000 hectares, of which 5,400 hectares are under the management of Cat Ba National Park, with about 400 small and large islands creating an enormous picture depicting the scene. Dissimilar to Halong, all islands in Lan Ha Bay are covered with green trees or vegetation, even if it is a tiny island like a peninsula.
