Bai Tu Long Bay in the northern province of Quang Ninh is expected
to stun holiday-makers as various tours to explore the beautiful bay
will be launched this summer.
Vice Chairman of the
provincial People’s Committee Do Thong said on May 22 that three tours
discovering Ha Long Bay – Hon Xep park, Vung Duc – Hon Xep park and Cai
Rong port – Minh Chau island will be offered during the upcoming
holiday.
Besides, visitors can stay overnight in Hon
Xep park, Van Canh island area and Lo O, he said, adding that three
inland waterway routes to these destinations will also be opened soon.
The provincial People’s Committee has assigned the
Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism to work with the Transport
Department, local police, the management board of Ha Long Bay and travel
agencies to popularise the tours while promoting the image of Bai Tu
Long Bay.
With its long and clean sandy beaches,
clear water, fascinating historical sites and untouched beauty, only 200
km from Hanoi, Bai Tu Long Bay has been labelled one of Northeast
Vietnam’s wonders of nature.
Embraced by a string of splendid limestone mountains, the eco-system in Bai Tu Long remains untouched.
There
are hundreds of islands and hundreds of kilometres of coastline with
white sandy beaches like those in Minh Chau, Quan Lan, Ngoc Vung and Son
Hao.
Bai Tu Long’s beauty lies in its limestone caves and
historical sites such as Van Don pier, Tinh Hai pier, a citadel from the
Mac dynasty on Ngoc Vung Island and Quan Lan Mountain on
Quan Lan Island.-VNA
