A UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Gulf of Tonkin, Hạ Long Bay comprises nearly 1,600 limestone karst islands and islets draped in jungle vegetation rising from emerald-green water. The classic photography vantage involves dawn light from the deck of an overnight cruise boat, when mist clings to the towers and fishing vessels drift silently between formations. Sea kayaking allows access to hidden lagoons and cave systems tucked within the larger islands.
