About this experience
The stunning limestone rocks that come out of the sea are what make Halong Bay/ Lanha Bay/Bai Tu Long Bay/Cat Ba so beautiful. They are like guardians watching over the water and protecting the secrets of the bay that have been there for a very long time. The seasons change and each season makes the place feel different. In the winter, it gets cold and the bay looks dreamy but quiet. In the summer, it gets hot and there are more things to do with water activities. If you are a nature lover, the Bay is definitely a must-visit spot in Vietnam.
