Day 9 - Halong Bay
We started with a visit to a local food market and took a 5 hour trip on a Junk to see Halong Bay, a UNESCO world heritage site. This area is unique in all the world for its limestone formations.
First a trip to the local market, a great way to see the culture of the area.
We boarded our private junk for the day’s trip
Scenes in the bay:
We visited the recently discovered caves on one of the islands.
Back out in the harbor, the day was grey but the view was still magnificent
