Ha Long Bay | Vietnam

3rd September 2017 by Rob Leave a Comment

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

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.

Historical research surveys have shown the presence of prehistorical human beings in this area tens of thousands years ago. The successive ancient cultures are the Soi Nhu culture around 18,000–7000 BC, the Cai Beo culture 7000–5000 BC and the Ha Long culture 5,000–3,500 years ago.
