Ha Long Bay is one of Vietnam’s most iconic and loved destinations. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it’s famous for its breathtaking scenery—think towering limestone cliffs rising out of emerald-green waters.
The name Ha Long means “descending dragon,” inspired by a local legend. According to the myth, a mother dragon and her children flew down from the heavens to protect Vietnam, dropping jewels and emeralds into the sea.
These magical stones are said to have formed the stunning karsts and islands that make Ha Long Bay so unforgettable today.
