About Ha Long
Ha Long is a city on Vietnam's northeast coast in Quang Ninh Province, about 170 km east of Hanoi, and the gateway to Ha Long Bay. The bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, holds about 1,600 limestone karsts and islets rising from emerald water, with caves such as Sung Sot and floating fishing villages, and is usually explored on day boats. The city is split by Bai Chay Bridge into Bai Chay, the resort side with the seafront Sun World park and cable car, and the older Hon Gai.
Ha Long International Cruise Port, Vietnam's first dedicated cruise terminal, opened in Bai Chay in 2018. Many cruise passengers also take long day trips to Hanoi.
