VIETNAM: Halong Bay

Ha Long Bay is a natural wonder in northern Vietnam, near the Chinese border.

The surrealistic Bay is dotted with 1,600 limestone islands covered in rainforests and islets. 

It covers an area of over 1,500 sq km.  

Most of the islands and the karst limestone pillars in the bay are uninhabited.

When we first arrived I was disappointed it was cloudy. 

But as I started taking pictures I realized that the clouds made it more mystical and ethereal.

The area was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994.
