Hanoi Off The Beaten Path

Out of Hanoi-Halong Bay: HA LONG BAY - "DESCENDING DRAGON"
  • Tip Rating:
  • Cruising among more then 3000 of tiny dramatic islands sprinkled across awesome Ha Long Bay is well worth it. You will spot "floating villages" in the Gulf of Tonkin. Don't look surprised if you see women cooking, men repairing fish nets and children playing on the deck. The image is like seeing the pirates who are believed to be roaming theese waters even now. If possible stay one night on the boat on the open sea.
