8Ha Long Bay, Vietnam
You’ll find Ha Long Bay in the Gulf of Tonkin about four hours out of the capital city of Hanoi. It includes more than 1,600 wild islands and islets. The bulk of them remains uninhabited.
This bay is one of the best things to see here. It’s a striking seascape of wave- and wind-eroded grottoes and towering limestone pillars.
