Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Halong Bay may be the great natural wonder of Vietnam. The emerald waters of the Gulf of Tonkin are dotted with some 3,000 islands, where wind and wave erosion have created remarkable grottoes and tiny, beautiful strips of beach. The local mythology maintains that the gods sent a family of dragons down to this spot to protect the natives against Chinese invasion, and that the motion of their tails was responsible for these stunning geological features. Halong is also the gateway to Hanoi, a city that can be seen as a bellwether for the rapid changes rocking Vietnam: You can view Ho Chi Minh’s embalmed body, or shop the supremely capitalist alleys of the Old Quarter.
