The Beauty of Hanoi & Ha Long Bay

Hanoi, literally the “city between the rivers”, is the capital of Vietnam. The historical Old Town, the colonial French Quarter, ancient temples of more than thousand years of age and various scenic lakes and landmarks make up one of the most wonderful cities of Southeast Asia, with a mix of Chinese and French influences enriching the vibrant Vietnamese culture. Apart from Hanoi, this tour will take you to Ha Long Bay- a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and a popular travel destination, located 170 km from Hanoi. The bay includes some 1,600 islands and islets, forming a spectacular seascape of limestone pillars. Because of their precipitous nature, most of the islands are uninhabited and unaffected by a human presence. Let's join us to explore Hanoi and Ha Long Bay.
