Halong Bay in Vietnam was one of the highlights of my Vietnam trip. About 3hrs drive away form the capital of Hanoi, this UNESCO heritage site is definately a firm favourite for environment and landscape lovers. Cruise along the Halong Bay sea and be dazzled by the hundreds of limestone caves that stand out majestically on their own.This is a great ideal for escaping the bustle and hustle Hanoi city. Although i did not have the chance to stay overnight on board the junk due to the lack of time, I believe that if one is planning a trip to Halong Bay in future, it is definately worth while. Also, try visiting the floating seafood markets. They serve really authentic local catch and moreover, the food is really fresh and refreshing. Nonetheless if one is visiting Hanoi, do make Halong Bay a stop in your trip.
