The true identity of the ladies in these paintings still have not been confirmed. There are various ideas about their identity. Some believe that they are the ladies of the king's while others think that they are women taking part in religious observances. These pictures have a close resemblance to paintings seen in the Ajanta caves in India.

The names of the ladies and the artists who painted them are lost to history. Their legacy has survived for over half a million days, a testament to the genius of their creators and the king who commissioned them.

litvice Lakes – The Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia’s most popular tourist attraction, was granted UNESCO World Heritage status in 1979. Located roughly halfway between capital city Zagreb and Zadar on the coast, the lakes are a definite must-see in Croatia.

Ha Long Bay (ENG: “Bay of the Descending Dragon”) is a World Heritage Site and a very popular travel destination in Vietnam.

Boat trip in Ha Long Bay. Kayaking and swiming has been recently banned by government. Reason? Unresponsible tourism, just to name one...

Apartments for rent? Please make an enquiry if you are interested. I heard you can actually spend a night or a few nights there. Please check and give us a comment if you have any more details. Would you spend a night in there if you had a chance?

Local people take youon a boat to guide you through this this beautiful area and show you the beauty of it. Small donation is expected.

Ha Long Bay has an area of around 1,553 km2, including 1,960–2,000 islets, most of which are limestone. The core of the bay has an area of 334 km2 with a high density of 775 islets.

The limestone in this bay has gone through 500 million years of formation in different conditions and environments.

Plenty tourists excursions can be found in the area. Only certain number of crews is allowed at the same time in the bay due to government regulations.

Boat excursion takes you through truly scenic part of our planet... Unforgettable views and amazing experience.

You have choice 1, 2 or 3 day boat excursion but other arrangements can be made with tour operators if you wish.

Calypso cruise is one of many tour operators in the area. I used "Lemon Cruise" and I would definitely recommend them.

In 2000, the UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee has inscribed the Hạ Long Bay in the World Heritage List according to its outstanding examples representing major stages of the Earth’s history and its original limestone karstic geomorphologic features.

The first group of caves is old phreatic caves which include Sung Sot, Tam Cung, Lau Dai, Thien Cung, Dau Go, Hoang Long, Thien Long. Nowadays, these caves lie at various high levels.

Within Ha Long Bay, the main accessible caves are the older passages that survive from the time when the karst was evolving though its various stages of fengcong and fenglin.

They are distinguished by the main elements of their passages being close to the horizontal and are commonly related to denuded or accumulated terraces at the old base levels.
