Lan Ha Bay
Lan Ha Bay, with more than 300 limestone islands and outcrops, is as stunning as its neighbor Halong Bay. However, it has a more secluded and unspoiled vibe.
Lan Ha Bay is geographically an extension of Halong Bay, but it is located in a different province. Lan Ha Bay is a must-see for nature lovers thanks to the huge appeal of its spectacular limestone islands, pristine white-sand beaches, and charming fishing villages. The bay is undoubtedly a must-see for any Hai Phong Tour.
