Heading for Halong Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. These limestone karst formations and small islands had taken 20 million years to evolve. The seascape is beautiful in the slightly misty atmosphere of the morning. Small floating fishing villages like this one spring up by the fringes of islands which have hostile towering perpendicular cliffs.

Before we went to Vietnam three years ago, I didn't read up on the places we would be visiting. I knew that Ha Long Bay was in our itinerary, but thought it was just a seaside resort we were going to , to chill, so to speak. When we got there from Hanoi, we were stunned! This place was not just fabulous, it was fascinating and famous!
We learnt that Ha Long Bay is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A greater honour was awarded to this site when the New Seven Wonders of the World Foundation included Halong Bay on its list of nominations as one of the World's Seven Natural Wonders. No wonder we found this place so wonderful!
