Some 1,600 islands, thick with greenery, form a maze of channels in the azure waters off northeastern Vietnam. Although people have lived in the region of Ha Long Bay for thousands of years, most of the islands remain uninhabited. But these coves and natural towers are rich with wildlife. For centuries, this spectacular seascape has inspired wonder.
The name Ha Long, Vietnamese for “descending dragon,” is reflected in a legend: Once, when the Viet people faced invasion, a dragon flew down from heaven to their defense. The creature sprayed not only fire, but also jewels that became the green archipelago.
The scientific explanation for the rock formations, known as karst, is also amazing. For millions of years, seashells and sediments fell to an ancient seafloor, forming solid rock. Tectonic activity raised the resulting limestone above water. Rainfall and rivers dissolved exposed rock, and carved valleys that flooded after the last ice age, creating this rare example of a karst field at sea.
Features include lakes and caves through the islands, and notches and tunnels where seawater has worn at the pillars' foundations. The fantastic landscape also continues into two adjacent national parks, on Cat Ba Island and Bai Tu Long Bay.
You can go kayaking, caving, or even take a ride in a seaplane to experience the grandeur of these enchanting tropical islands.

I think no.1 most diverse, beautiful and cheapest country in the world should be Vietnam because of these reasons: Vietnam is just a small countries but it has many records.
the deepest gorge in SEA (Hẻm Tu Sản), the longest lava tube cave in SEA (Hang C7), most beautiful bay in the world (Ha Long Bay), steepest natural waterslide in probably the world (Tà Ngào waterslide)
Our country, our pride. Viet Nam . Thank you
Vietnam looks amazing, would love to travel there one day
hello ( hế lô mấy cưng ) :)
@@LinhNguyen-vw2lm ohn.your country is so beautiful. From another planet. :)

Very sad the people throwing garbage everywhere.
Been there last month.. Amazing place.. Love from Malaysia
That's great but where have you stayed I am also thinking of going.
As a Vietnamese and English learner, I love how the speaker uses literary words to arouse the august and majestic seascape of Ha Long Bay as authentic as it would be. Love Ha Long Bay! Love Vietnam!
bác học tiếng anh ở đâu mà viết hay thế

This place is truly amazing. Had the pleasure of visiting in 2016
Happy to hear you got to see Ha Long Bay in person! If you'd like to learn more, you can read on here: on.natgeo.com/2PI2UI9
been there with my husband as well back in 2018, indeed beautiful.
I just arrived in Ha Long Bay 2 days ago. Ha Long Bay is one of the most beautiful and unique world natural heritages.
Proud of my country, Vietnam. The landscape is spectacular.
One of the most beautiful destinations. So serene.
Absolutely breathtaking to look at, even more so experiencing it yourself! There seems to be so much natural surroundings to explore 😍 Worth definitely a visit one day. Thanks for sharing National Geographic.
Is there like a hotel?, or do you camp there it’s a very pretty place.
You usually stay overnight on a boat of some kind

I'm come from Vietnam and I very proud of nature my country
Really
Que beleza ...quando vemos este esplendor e sem mão humana em que a rainha é a natureza!! Até as pedras vivem ...que vídeo com um filtro maravilhoso recortando o céu e o mar..Que quietude extrema conseguimos ouvir o voo das aves e o ascender da lua...tanta ilha...será que nos não poderíamos ser uma ilha também? Num instante parece que estamos numa dimensão paralela onde o tempo estancou e inalamos um cheiro a verde distante! É um local mágico e a lenda do dragao é de pasmar !
Spectacular views absolutely stunning
Ha Long Bay is the most beautiful place I have ever visted. It is definitely worth a trip.
Amzing Halong, Vietnam. One of 7 wonders of the world. we are proud of HLong.

Great video ,many thanks incredible of the beauty this tropical islands in Vietnam.
Ha Long Bay is the best. I have been in Ha Long Bay three times already. Just a beautiful location.
The beauty of this locality is surreal, even unearthly. I really do understand why the legend about its formation arose. A prosaic explanation seems inadequate. I have to say a karst topography in the sea is rather exotic! Lovely video.
So beautiful, i love Vietnam
I am from Indonesia, I have been there 2018..very Amazing Halong bay..
Paradise on earth 🌍
Beautiful nature, beautiful country.
Earth is incredible!
@Dbirdey Capozzie: Earth yes, people unfortunately no.
