Overview

Halong Bay is special because there are thousands of small islands which rise from the seal limestone peaks which have names like Big Chicken, Fighting Cocks, and Archway to Heaven. Many tourists will come and take boat tours around these islands, sleep on the boat and watch the stars at night. The Bay is rich with many kinds of fish, coral and anemones some which glow in the night waters. When you are sleeping on a boat it is so peaceful and you feel you are in a very special place.
