Ha Long Bay

For the past three days we have been on a cruise boat here in Ha Long Bay, called the ‘Perla Dawn Sails’ (By the way, if anyone decides to come to Ha Long Bay in the future, I would definitely recommend staying with Perla Dawn Sails for two nights/three days) Ha Long Bay in Vietnamese means ‘descending dragons’, and the legend is that, a long time ago, there were people trying to invade north Vietnam, and the Vietnamese people didn’t have weapons ready, so they prayed to the gods to help them. The gods then sent down many dragons to protect the Vietnamese people and their land. Once the dragons fought off the invaders, they decided they loved Vietnam so much, that they settled into this bay to live. That’s what all the giant rock formations are. The rocks are very cool, because the salt water has undercut the base of the rock, so when the tide goes out, it looks like a big rock on a small stem. We went kayaking twice to explore the Bay more.
