Ha Long Bay, one of the “world’s most dramatic coasts”

Well-known for its many islands rising from the emerald water, caves with incredible stalactites and unique animal life, Ha Long Bay in the northern province of Quang Ninh has been posted among the world’s top 10 most amazing coastlines by Huffington Post Magazine.


“Vietnam’s Ha Long Bay is an UNESCO-recognized wonderland of over 3,000 whimsically-shaped islands jutting sharply out of the tranquil green waters,” publishes the US magazine.

“Aside from sheer visual splendor, Ha Long Bay is also home to countless caves, many offering privileged views of the surrounding islands, and a wide variety of endemic wildlife. Your best bet to thoroughly explore the nooks and crannies of this magical coast is to buy a bunk on one of the local boats, which regularly take excursions to key points in the bay,” it stresses.

From the magical bays of Southeast Asia to the rugged, red coasts of North Africa, the US magazine also honoured Cape Town in South Africa, Lofoten Islands in Norway, Krabi in Thailand, Amalfi Coast in Italy, Twelve Apostles in Australia, Legzira in Morocco, Cap Blanc in Mauritania, Los Gigantes in Spain and Cliffs of Moher in Ireland.
