SHORT TRIP TO CATBA ISLAND
Just two hours on the roads and 20 minutes of ferry ride will bring you from Hanoi capital to this small island call Cat Ba. It’s a popular island located nearby to Halong Bay and it’s worth to be visited for a quick gate away. The people are great and they a lot of seafood restaurant to be choose from.
Nothings beat the calm of the ocean during the morning. Take a walk along the coastal area and you will feel the warmth of Catba. Renting a motorbike not an issue here and they came with a more cheaper price compared to Hanoi.
There was a cable car crossing from the mainland to the island which we are not aware of. Maybe can be tried when we visit Catba again in the future.

1. Cat Ba Island
Cat Ba Island features a diverse terrain with cliffs, deep gorges, beaches, tropical forests, marshes, and secluded villages. To protect this diverse ecosystem and wildlife, about half of Cat Ba Island was designated as Cat Ba National Park by local authorities in 1986. The park is famous for the endangered Cat Ba langur, a golden-haired primate species with a charming punk rock hairstyle. The island's residents are concentrated in the town of Cat Ba in the southern part of the island.
2. Ha Long Bay
Ha Long Bay is a well-known scenic spot in Vietnam, famous for its magnificent and picturesque scenery, and has been included in the list of World Natural Heritage sites. There are more than 2,000 uniquely shaped limestone pillars standing on the calm sea surface, which resemble the karst landscape of Guilin in Guangxi, China, hence it is also known as 'Guilin on the Sea'.
3. Cat Ba National Park
Cat Ba Island has a vast expanse of pristine forest, which the Vietnamese government has designated as a national nature reserve, namely Cat Ba National Park. The reserve is home to many precious trees and a variety of rare birds and animals, making it a huge natural zoo of flora and fauna.
During his singing career of over 25 years, Quang Dung has left a profound impression with many lyrical songs. Let's listen to his voice in Hai Phong~

Cat Ba Island@Vietnam
Location - Cat Ba District, Off Coast of Haiphong City and Quang Ninh Province, Halong Bay, Vietnam.
Getting There - Depart from Haiphong City via speedboat(approximately one hour of travel by sea)
Attractions - Despite being the biggest island in the whole Halong Bay, it is still clean and not so commercialized tourist spot. There are so many things to do in Cat Ba that I personally suggested to stay for at least two nights on the island(from beach activities to kayaking to mountain hiking)during the day. At night, do pick a good seafood restaurant and enjoy the affordable and fresh seafood😋.
