| The full name of this UNESCO World Heritage Site, Vịnh Hạ Long, translates to "Where the Dragon Descends to the Sea," an evocative way to describe this 600-square-mile bay in the South China Sea's Gulf of Tonkin that has become one of the country's must-see tourist destinations. Once an ideal hideout for pirates, the karst monoliths were made famous in the 1997 James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies. Like Scotland's Loch Ness, Hạ Long has its own mythical monster, a camera-shy sea serpent known as the Tarasque, but that doesn't stop the hordes of visitors flocking to see the bay's caves and beaches, peruse the area's pearl farms, cruise on classic sailing vessels (junks) or explore under their own steam via kayak. |
