What tourist attractions are there in Vietnam?

Halong Bay

Halong Bay is the most famous scenic spot in Vietnam. The Vietnamese call it the eighth wonder of the world. UNESCO included Halong Bay in the World Heritage List in 1994. Because the islands in Halong Bay are all limestone peaks with different shapes and beautiful scenery, which are similar to the landscape of Guilin, Chinese guests who have traveled here affectionately call Halong Bay "Guilin on the Sea". According to Vietnamese myths and legends, a long time ago, a female dragon landed in this bay, blocking the raging waves and allowing the people in this area to live and work in peace and contentment. Therefore, people called this bay "Halong Bay". Accompanying the mother dragon to the sea are a group of dragon cubs, so the nearby small bay is also called "Bai Tu Long Bay".

In recent years, Vietnam has renamed Hon Gai City "Halong City" in order to further increase the popularity of Halong Bay. Hon Gi is also a famous coal capital in Vietnam.
