Romantic Trip of a lifetime..

Halong Bay is best appreciated by cruise - either day trip or staying overnite on board. The trip started with a small boat transfer to the cruise boat. Greeted by friendly staff, the trip started with a cool towel, a welcome drink and a briefing. Then enjoyed the view of the karst limestone from your room or the upper deck. After a seafood lunch - kayaking in the bay area allows us to be closer to nature. Watching the sun set from the upper deck and a good dinner ends a great day in Halong Bay. Which cruise to choose? Depending on your needs, budget and time. Mine - Small cruise (large cruise can be noisy) ala carte meal ( managing what we can or can not eat) and room with Balcony and Jacuzi (perfect for our anniversary)

🌅🇻🇳Breathtaking Sunset in the Sea🇭🇰🌅

🇻🇳Our Hanoi Happenings🇻🇳 On the final part of our UNESCO World Heritage Site of Halong Bay cruise tour~We had The Sunset Cruise Party💛 Basically Happy Hour on the cruise with snacks and wine/cocktails while viewing the stunning Sunset in the sea. I was able to capture the beautiful sunset while on the cruise, I love sunsets and the colors it brings, one of the delights of nature. We had a superbly marvelous time on our Halong Bay cruise, albeit a bit exhausting at times-the views and beauty of the sights all make it worth it😍 Highly recommend doing the Halong Bay Day Cruise when in Hanoi👍 #timetotravel #urbanexplorer #awesomepic #foodie #境外遊 #Hanoi

Heaven on Earth: Ha Long Bay, Vietnam

Located just 2 hours east from Hanoi, Ha Long Bay offers an incredible mix of enormous caves, towering islands and pristine waters to enjoy. My personal favourites were the Surprising Cave (you’ll be surprised by it’s size!) and kayaking. I did a 1 day tour with Cozy Bay Cruises and I cannot recommend it enough. Most companies also offer 2D1N and 3D2N overnight cruises. Booking is easily done through Klook or your hostel/hotel. Booking through a tour usually means a 7am pickup at the Hanoi Old Quarter and a 9pm drop off, leaving you a good 10 hours to enjoy the bay.

Ha Long Bay — number 1 MUST GO place in Vietnam

One of my favorite locations in Vietnam — amazing Ha Long Bay. It's a truly unique natural spot. Ha Long Bay can offer spectacular views! Emerald Colour waters, islands and many caves. You can go on boat day trips or stay on boat overnight. The sunrises and sunsets look gorgeous. Also you can go kayaking and swimming. Highly recommend to visit if you are in Vietnam. #halong #vietnam

Most unique hotel I’ve ever stayed

Transport yourself back to ancient time when you stay in this hotel! Located in Yentu, around 2 hours drive from Hanoi, Legacy Yentu - MGallery’s is a 5 stars hotel managed by Accor Group. I stayed here with my wife for our anniversary. The hotel picked us up from Hanoi town with their shuttle. On arrival, we were awed by the ancient inspired architecture of this building. It is designed by renown star architect - Bill Bensley, whom is famous for designing luxury resorts in SEA. We stayed in the Deluxe Room which is quite spacious (570sf), and comes with a beautiful bathtub at the patio, super king sized bed and even 2 toilets - perfect for honeymoon/anniversary! Activities - The hotel offers complimentary activities such as Yoga, village dance show, meditation. You can also pay for horse riding, archery and take cable car up to the sacred yentu mountain. Breakfast - the spread is impressive, and our tummies we were truly pampered by the wide selection. They even have artisan coffee! We also had our dinner at night and the food was delicious. Spa - The spa room is one of the nicest I’ve been to. Although the massage was not as great, still we felt relaxed after the session. Overall a great stay and a hidden gem for foreign travellers to Hanoi! #luxuryhotel #couplestrip #urbanexplorer #hanoi

One of the best Christmas trip in my 20s

I have been working in Vietnam for nearly 5 years and traveling to many places but this is the first time I heard and know about Yen Tu in north Vietnam, when people talking about traveling in north Vietnam, most common places they visit are Ha Long Bay, Hanoi, Ninh Binh, Sapa, etc. Can’t tell how surprised I was when coming to this place, the atmosphere is so peaceful that makes me forget all my worries, I think if I live here for more than a month I probably will become a monk😂 I will continue to travel in Vietnam, hoping that at my early 30s I can visit all the hidden and unknown paradise in Vietnam. In 2024, I want to go to Sapa, where used to be my most wanted visit place. #2024wish #hotel #vietnamtravel #localguides #mytravelhacks

Halong Bay Cruise

If you decide to visit Halong bay during your stay in Vietnam, you can book 1 or 2 day’s cruise including a transport from Hanoi, in any of the tourist agencies around the city. Trip from Hanoi to Halong bay is around 2.5 hours. Once you get onto the boat, depending if its luxury or regular cruise, you will be served lunch and drinks, after lunch you can go to upper deck to enjoy gorgeous limestone mountains raising up from emerald waters. Halong bay is also part of UNESCO World heritage site so that s one more reason to visit this place. On the tour you will stop at TiTop island (named by Soviet Union Cosmonaut) where you can swim or go for a hiking tour around the island. Next stop is Sung Sot cave on Bo Hon island. After a climb of about 200 steps you will enter largest and most visited cave with a reason. It s absolutely beautiful. Cave is about 500 meters long and around 30 meters high. It was first found by French in 1901. And it s definitely one of the best part of the journey. At the end of the day you will have about an hour to do some kayaking and enjoy nature from the water :) And for the end of the day my recommendation is to grab a drink, go to upper deck and enjoy the sight of limestone mountains while the sun is setting down. Absolutely wonderful trip…

Halong Bay

Amazing Halong Bay You can't imagine When you go on a bamboo boat through the tunnel into it. It's like you slipped into another world. #halongbay #vietnam #hanoi #travel #travelblogger

Ha Long BAE 😍

Amazing view with this Halong Bay Cruise. Had the chance to visit the amazing caves and kayak around for abit. The view is really amazing and everyone should come here at least once in their life to witness this amazing nature’s creation.

Halong Bay

I think that's one of the best travel activity at Vietnam. There are hundreds of islands around this bay. You can see beautifully

Chagu Beach is located on the Chagu Peninsula. It takes about half an hour to drive from Mang Street. It is also the starting point of Vietnam's northern zero-kilometer road. It can be said that it is the North Pole of Vietnam. There is a 0km boundary pillar. Visitors will come here to punch in. Listening to the waves and looking at the endless sea, the mood at this time is quiet and joyful. The mangrove wave-breaking belt is the first line of defense for constructing a coastal shelter forest system. It has the title of Coast Guardian. In the prime time, it is a beautiful The scenery, when it comes to the big storm at sea, plays a role in protecting the coastline.

Tekogu Beach is the northernmost beach in Vietnam and is considered to be the most romantic beach in Vietnam. Tekogu Beach is not far from Mang Street, so here is also the first seaside tourist spot we arrived in Vietnam. Unlike the beaches where the domestic population is surging, there are not many tourists on Chagu Beach, even with a little bit of cold. When I came here, the temperature was over 20 degrees, and the temperature was exceptionally pleasant. On the beach, there was no heat and pain in the sun and the sun. The sand on the beach is very fine and white, there is no rubbish, stepping on the sand, the fine sand is scattered under the feet, the sea water is clear, you can see the fishing boat sailing, the white sail, and the white sand of the white waves. Contrary to interest. There are no vendors selling, there are no kinds of noisy water projects, with a cold and a little original, with the original face in front of us.

Chagu Beach, 10 km from Mang Street, is the northernmost, most primitive and longest beach in Vietnam. The beach here is fine and the sea is clear and blue. On the beach, there are occasional live fish that the local fishermen process and fish. A very quiet beach, maybe the sun at noon is too strong, and few tourists walk by the sea. An old cow is leisurely licking the young grass. It is also because of the big noon that we can see the whole beach. A humble wooden boat has become a good place for our concave shape! Take a photo, we are serious! Photos Tip: If you want to stand in front, you should avoid standing on the heights, otherwise the visual effect will be very strange! The cool photos are just left to look at the right ~ the way to capture the model is more natural! Specific address: Vietnam Mang Market Wanzhu Island - Chagu Beach beach 4 hours away from Halong City, Vietnam!
