About this audio guide
This guide to the Halong Bay cruises at Ha Long starts with a count of the boats around you, then goes back to the late 1980s, when the bay had a handful of state-run tourist boats on one fixed route. It follows the people who challenged that arrangement around 1990, the craftsmen and the money involved, and the companies that joined them soon after. Best heard standing at the pier, looking out over the hulls.
