Must visit: Halong Bay is the world wonder of Vietnam

In the category of ‘this is something you must see once in your life, bucket list material and books but’: Halong Bay in Vietnam. What will you see? Almost 3500 (!) islands rising above the waters of the Gulf of Tonkin. Among the limestone rocks, you will even find underground lakes and breathtaking caves. The free translation of Halong is: where the dragon descends into the sea. You understand it when you see the images. Have you spotted the shark fin yet? For me, it's at the top of the list.
