Ha Long Bay affords some of Vietnam’s
most spectacular scenery, including beautiful limestone formations, rock
arches, gin-clear water, virtually inaccessible lagoons, sheer cliffs,
peaceful coves, eerie caves, secluded strips of white, powdery sand, and
thousands of limestone islets. Like sculpted cartoon characters, these
islets are fancifully named: Frog Island, Face Island, the Isle of
Wonders and the Isle of Surprise. Chinese junks glide over the teal-hued
bay between the grottos, which are densely carpeted in neon-green
ficas, mangrove and spiky cacti. Pearl oyster farms are tucked into
tight channels between the towering, limestone cliffs. Primitive
floating fish hatcheries are spun across the waters between the grottos
like neglected spider webs.
