In 1994 UNESCO classified HALONG BAY as a World Natural Heritage and in November 2000, the World Heritage Committee reconfirmed this classification,

your excursion to Halong Bay will re-evaluate the classification of UNESCO to this fairyland

In the book intituled " Wonders of the World" published in 1950. The French marshal Lyautey compared it with Venice rocks in the " Letters of Tonkin and Madagascar " (June 24, 1895).

The French novelist Yvonne Schultz did not hesitate to praise the miraculous beauty of this bay:

All heights and ten thousand forms; imagination, imitation, pagodas, Hindu temples, menhirs, Chinese towers, pieces of chess-board or true immense mountain. And the extraordinary flows simulating the ruined keeps, the broken down bastions, a succession of palaces with the open belly and tribes of mutilated idols.

HALONG BAY is nearly a hidden bay with thousands of limestone islands densely rising from the blue jade water in a sea area of over 1500 square kilometers. Its 1969 green islands enfeeble the strong winds blowing from the ocean to leave the transparent water of the bay often calm in cool and healthy air. From time to time, sailing Junk appearing and disappearing between the islands make the poetic sight more colorful like sparkling pearls or coral reefs found out in the bay. The beauty of the bay is not monotone, at different positions of viewing, it will astonish viewers with quite different fascinations. In the caves and grottoes of stone islands, visitors will discover and admire how many impressive stalactites and stalagmites. The caves have strange but very accurate names, have their own legends in their names as Thien Cung (Heaven Palace) grotto, Dau Go (Wooden Head) grotto, certainly the feeling of anyone who see these caves first time.

High summits are drawn up as a crowd in the sea like many jewels

Bluish tops are dispersed like the falling stars and the pieces in the chessboard

of waves.

( By the King Lê Thánh Tôn - 1468 )
