Halong Bay translates to 'descending dragon bay' in Vietnamese. According to legend, ancient Vietnam was invaded, and the gods sent dragons to help defend the country. The dragons spat out pearls and jade, which transformed into the thousands of limestone islands and islets that form Halong Bay today, creating a natural barrier to protect the nation. These islands also confused and deterred the invaders, causing them to retreat.
Yes, Halong Bay was inscribed as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site in 1994 for its outstanding universal value and was expanded in 2000. Its uniqueness lies in its spectacular karst landscape, with thousands of limestone islands and islets of various shapes, as well as its pristine ecosystem. The emerald waters combined with peculiar limestone pillars create a picturesque and poetic scene.
