Bai Tu Long Bay
Bai Tu Long Bay
Quiet limestone-karst bay of thousands of islets, floating fishing villages and coral-fringed lagoons.
This guide to Bai Tu Long Bay follows the old Vietnamese legend of a dragon family who spat jade into the sea to wreck an invading fleet, and how the mother and her children are said to have settled into the islands and inlets around you rather than returning to heaven. It traces where the bay's own name comes from that story. Listen for how the water changes color as your boat moves between islets.
