Visit HaLong Bay: things to know for a concious choice – WarmCheapTrips warmcheaptrips.com

Halong Bay is often consider one of the unmissable spot for a trip to Vietnam…but here some useful information for a sustainable visit.

In a Vietnam itinerary, Ha Long Bay is one of those stops often described as unmissable, a must-visit destination, and for many, it’s the main reason that drives them to explore this Southeast Asian country. I personally had high expectations, and it was a non-negotiable stop on my itinerary in northern Vietnam, but I’ll go against the grain here and say that, for me, it didn’t live up to the hype I had imagined.

Of course, my expectations were sky-high, fueled by the excellent social media narrative surrounding Vietnam and the fact that this is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, one of Vietnam’s most famous locations, and one of the seven natural wonders of the world.
