Halong Bay

Ha Long Bay, located in northern Vietnam in the Gulf of Tonkin, is one of the country's most breathtaking natural landscapes. Its emerald waters are dotted with over 2,000 islands and islets of karst rock, many of them covered in jungle and featuring caves accessible only by water. Its scenery can be explored by junk or kayak, and also offers activities such as hiking, climbing, and scuba diving. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994, it has also been one of the New Seven Wonders of Nature since 2011.
