Thousands of huge and little rocky islands rise from the turquoise ocean to form a massive image. This is a natural privilege that no other country in the world enjoys. The most exciting part of visiting Ha Long Bay is sailing through the island forest, interlaced like an infinite wall that suddenly opens allowing our boat to pass through.
