Ha Long Bay

November 14th 2008

I saw one awesome natural wonders on earth, feels amazing.
I wonder if earth is this beautiful, how bout the heaven?

The mountains, sun, sea, mist, all together gave you this amazing scenery.
Halong Bay has twice been recognize by UNESCO as a for a world heritage area for this scenic beauty. Located in north eastern area of Vietnam, best to get there is from Hanoi.

Take a boat, lay on the rooftop all day long, take a picture with mind and your camera, do kayaking, and enjoy your life.




Local legend has it that long ago when the Vietnamese were fighting Chinese invaders, the gods sent a family of dragons to help defend the land. This family of dragons began spitting out jewels and jade. These jewels turned into the islands and islets dotting the bay, linking together to form a great wall against the invaders. The people kept their land safe and formed what later became the country of Vietnam. After that, dragons were interested in peaceful sightseeing of the Earth and decided to live here then. The place where Mother Dragon flew down was named Hạ Long.
