CNN recently has listed the UNESCO heritage site Ha Long Bay among the 25 most gorgeous destinations on Earth. Ha Long Bay in Quang Ninh province is one of the most popular natural attractions in Southeast Asia and one of the most beautiful places in Vietnam, CNN said.
This site, which was recognized as a World Heritage Site in 1994 by UNESCO, captivates tourists by 1,969 islets of hulking limestone and deep, green waters that are home to myriad floating villages.
This is a place where time slows to a standstill. Tourists can sail on a junk boat or pick up a kayak, and get lost in the quieter reaches of this vast and fascinating corner of the sea.
The most ideal time to visit Ha Long is between March and April and September to November as there is very little rain and cruise conditions are near perfect, CNN suggested./.
