We finally arrived at Haiphong Jetty after 3 hours minivan drive from Hanoi. We boarded an ancient looking ship which would sail us around Halong Bay. Lin and I went up to the deck of the ship. The visibility was poor because it was drizzling and the surrounding was misty. Then we had lunch with a local family on the ship. Not long after lunch, the mist cleared.
Lunch with a local family on the ship.Halong Bay is 170 km away from Hanoi, with its picturesque blend of rock mountains and sea. It covers an area of over 1,500 km, dotted with thousands of rocky islands; it really is a natural sculpture on a gigantic scale.
Magnificent view of Halong.
The islands are riddled with innumerable caves.
