Once coming to Ha Long Bay, visiters will be surprised by its splendid natural beauty. It is not enough to visit Ha Long Bay by just standing on the coastline to view the high seas (maybe you do not explire anything then). Visitors should try to discover the secrets of this scenery by making a trip on the sea, passing through lagoons, alongn channels and into caves full of eroded stone, rivulets and tree groves.
