Everybody knows Ha Long Bay is one of the world’s cultural heritage sites, but not all of them know why it is claimed as a heritage. Ha Long is famous for its beautiful scenery, great natural creations, fresh air and a wonderful climate for tourists who want to get away from the busy life and to discover the gift of The Creator. Ha Long Bay is located 170 km from Hanoi; far enough for tourists to enjoy the fresh air. The Bay contains nearly 3000 islands and islets and gorgeous beaches which make Ha Long Bay so attractive.
