Why Don’t You Go To Halong Bay?

Taking a cruise is an extravagant experience that most people want to make their friends jealous about, and trip to Viet Nam is no exception.

According to a survey by The Cruise Travel Site nearly 1.8 million Instagram posts tagged on various ships and ports around the world and came up with a list of the 25 top destinations, in which Vietnam made the top 15 with Instagram mentions ranging between 20,001 and 40,000, while the world famous Ha Long Bay earned between 400 and 10,000.

It can be said that Vietnam has one of the fastest growing tourism markets in the world, drawing nearly 13 million foreign visitors in 2017, up almost 30% from the previous year.

The country’s long coastline and beautiful beaches are certainly some of the main attractions.

Last year, top US lifestyle magazine Food and Wine named a cruise in Viet Nam one of the 11 best trips across the globe for retirees.

It suggested either a river tour in Ha Noi or Saigon, away from the hustle and bustle of the cities, or a boat tour through Ha Long Bay, a world natural heritage site with magnificent limestone rock formations rising from the sea.

Ha Long has always been one of Viet Nam's biggest tourism magnets. It is considered as one of the best ecological spots in the world, an overnight Ha Long cruise trip is a "must-try" travel experience in Asia.

Especially, Halong Bay was used to film the Hollywood blockbuster “Kong: Skull Island” which hit theaters last March, and has been raved about by many travel bloggers in the world. So, why don't you go to Halong Bay if you are planning a trip to Vietnam?
