The Halong Bay area is the port city for Hanoi. Hanoi is about a 4 hour drive. Since we had spent several days there in the past, we decided to stay in the Halong Bay area. We rented a junk to take us to a fishing villlage.

We also went into caves that are inside the lime stone mountains which are called karsts. It is believed that these caves with stalagtites and stalagmites were formed 700,000 to 1 million years ago.

We invited our favorite singers onboard to join us on our own private junk.

Thanks for sharing yr wonderful trip. Halong bay is also my favorite getaway. Every time coming there, i see and feel different things. Kayaking, seeing floating villages, climbing the rocks, boating the islands, etc are so great. Definitely come back there soon.
