Just next to the world famous Ha Long Bay, a world natural heritage, Bai Tu Long Bay is not any the less beautiful with hundreds of islets rising from the clear water and long and smooth sand banks.About 200 kilometres away from Ha Noi, Bai Tu Long Bay is also home to a national park with a primitive forest and hundreds of species of plants and animals, many of which have been listed as rare and precious.
The park is some 60km away from Bai Chay Beach. Tourists can reach the park by road or more romantically by speedboat from Bai Chay Beach.
The northern province of Quang Ninh has turned Bai Tu Long Bay into an eco-tourist site with various choices of tours to visitors.
After admiring the beauty of the limestone rocks in numerous interesting shapes and discovering deep caves or mangrove forests by boat, visitors still have much more to see on Van Don, Minh Chau, and Quan Lan islands or at the shores. Van Don Port, built in 1149, used to be a busy place for trade and cultural exchange between Viet Nam and Thailand, China and Japan for five centuries.
Meanwhile, Cua Ong temple is one of the most sacred places in the northeastern region where a national hero and his family are worshipped. The temple is built in the middle of the mountains, facing Bai Tu Long Bay.
Visitors can choose to stay overnight in stilted houses at the shore to enjoy fresh seafood and local specialties.
They can also go through thick forests to reach the village of ethnic minority groups and be their guests. (Source: VNA)
