Halong Bay is located in Vietnam's Gulf of Tonkin, 165km north-east of Hanoi. The bay is endowed with over 3,000 limestones islands jutting out of the emerald sea water. Every day, luxurious junk-styled wooden boats ply the heavenly beauty carrying tourists to visit different islands with breathtaking caves inside.
