Tour Guide, Hai Phong, Vietnam
| 1 mins read
Known as twin of Ha Long bay, Lan Ha bay in Cat Ba Islands is an undiscovered destination of blooming tourism in Vietnam in the last decade. It’s really unfair that this area bay it’s not popular as Ha Long bay but this help to remain the truly experience, natural environment and local culture.
Geologically they are an extension of Halong Bay, but these islands lie in a different province of Vietnam (Hai Phong). The limestone pinnacles and scenery are just as beautiful as Halong Bay, but this area have the additional attraction of numerous white-sand beaches.
Around 200 species of fish, 500 species of mollusc, 400 species of arthropod and numerous hard and soft coral live in Lan Ha Bay. Larger marine animals in the area include seals and three species of dolphin.
Lan Ha Bay is a fair way from Halong City, so not so many tourist boats venture to this side of the bay. In short, Lan Ha Bay has a more isolated, off-the-beaten-track appeal (and far fewer visitors).
