Ha Long Bay is an incredibly famous tourist destination in Vietnam, boasting thousands of magnificent limestone islands and stunning natural scenery

Ha Long Bay is often compared to a giant, vivid ink painting, featuring thousands of limestone islands rising from clear blue waters, along with a rich and mysterious system of caves. Against the backdrop of the blue sea and sky lies the green carpet of vegetation covering the limestone mountains. This beauty is further enhanced by countless islands with unique and diverse shapes.

From April to June, during the summer season, many limestone cliffs of Ha Long Bay bloom with the vibrant purple flowers of the Purple Radermachera.
