outstanding geological value Overall, Ha Long Bay offers an unforgettable experience that showcases the natural beauty of Vietnam and is definitely worth a visit! Cat Ba Island: 16 Cat Ba Island is Halong Bay's largest island and the best stop if you want to do something else besides exploring the deep turquoise waters The island is home to some nice hotels; Cat Ba National Park, which covers one third of the island; and a number of tourist attractions connected to the Vietnam War–more notably the Hospital Cave, an underground, bomb-proof hospital and safe house There are some excellent hiking trails on the island, including an 18-km route that leads to a mountain peak Most hikers stop by the kiosks in Viet Hai, a minority village where snacks and lunch are served Having a guide is not imperative but is recommended so you can make sense of the verdant canopy of trees Most tourists actually prefer to explore the park on organized tours You’ll get to explore its natural beauty highlighted by caves, limestone forests, cascading waterfalls, and small streams flowing to the sea Cat Ba is also the starting point for adventurers wishing to get up close and personal with Halong Bay This is the best place to get a kayak, join a tour to explore the caves on the island, take off on a hike through the national park (trails are clearly marked so you won't get lost), or do some rock climbing Organized tours are available if you want to try something not included in your cruise package, but many visitors just pay a local for a ride on their boat 17 Cat Ba doesn't have many roads, so walking and biking are not only the easiest and greenest ways to get around but also the best options to make sure you don't miss out on anything–including opportunities to run into giant lizards or catch sight of a rare eagle in flight Cat Ba also has its own three beaches that are perfect for swimming and quiet in the mornings, before cruises arrive Between May and September, it's also possible to snorkel around the island Bai Chay Beach: Bai Chay Beach is a beautiful long sandy beach located in Bai Chay, which is a popular tourist destination in Vietnam's Quang Ninh province The beach stretches along the coast for about 500 meters and is a great place to relax, sunbathe, and enjoy the stunning natural scenery The beach is surrounded by hills and mountains, which provide a picturesque backdrop for visitors to enjoy The clear blue waters of the Gulf of Tonkin lap gently against the shore, making it a great place for swimming, kayaking, and other water sports There are plenty of amenities and facilities available at Bai Chay Beach, including restaurants, cafes, and beachside bars where visitors can grab a bite to eat or a refreshing 18 drink There are also plenty of sun loungers and umbrellas available for rent, so visitors can relax and soak up the sun in comfort Bai Chay Beach is particularly popular in the evening, when locals and tourists alike come to enjoy the sunset and take a leisurely stroll along the shore It's a great spot to watch the sun sink below the horizon and see the sky turn shades of orange and pink Overall, Bai Chay Beach is a beautiful and relaxing destination that should not be missed when visiting the Quang Ninh province of Vietnam 4 Speciality Squid rolls: Squid rolls Ha Long is a popular specialty that you can buy as a gift when traveling to Ha Long You can buy it at almost any market in Ha Long, but I think you should go to Ha Long market 1 and Ha Long market 2 to buy it, especially Ha Long market 2 Behind this market area, on the left side of Vincom Ha Long, there will be a row of kiosks selling Cha Muc Here you can choose the type of “Cha” according to your budget, for example, 1kg of Cha Muc for 350.000 VND will be mixed (mixed from many squid ingredients such as type 1 , type 2 and type 3 squid) 400.000 VND will mix less and 480.000 will be type 1 squid without mixing All are arranged in a foam tray that looks very 19 polite with a quantity of about more than 30 pieces Note that you should buy vacuum- packed squid to avoid being affected by the smell in other luggage Tien Yen hill chicken: Tien Yen hill chicken is one of the specialties of Ha Long and is loved by many people It is naturally raised on the limestone hills of Tien Yen commune, Tien Yen district, Quang Ninh province Chickens are fed naturally and do not use growth hormones This is why chicken meat has a distinctive and delicious taste compared to other types of chicken Chicken are fed in Tiên Yên hill has a fragrant, chewy and sweeter meat than other types of chicken Tiên Yên hill chicken can be processed into many different dishes such as fried chicken, steamed beer chicken, ginger chicken Sa sung: If you have ever set foot here, you will surely know about Sa sung - one of the specialties that cannot be missed when traveling to Ha Long Sa sung is considered a delicious and nutritious specialty for anyone who intends to buy gifts for family and friends This strange marine creature has high nutritional value, thick and white flesh, a special fragrance, so its price is often quite salty when it falls into 400,000 VND - 500,000 VND / 20
