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.

From Hanoi, you can travel to Halong Bay, enjoy a cruise for five or six hours on the bay and come back to the city within the day.
