Famous for its numerous islands rising from the emerald water, caves
with amazing stalactites and unique animal life, Ha Long Bay in the
northern province of Quang Ninh has been listed among the world’s top 10
most impressive coastlines by the US Huffington Post Magazine.
“Vietnam’s Ha Long Bay is a UNESCO-recognized wonderland of over 3,000
whimsically-shaped islands jutting sharply out of the tranquil green
waters,” writes the magazine.
“Aside from sheer visual
splendor, Ha Long Bay is also home to countless caves, many offering
privileged views of the surrounding islands, and a wide variety of
endemic wildlife. Your best bet to thoroughly explore the nooks and
crannies of this magical coast is to buy a bunk on one of the local
boats, which regularly take excursions to key points in the bay,” it
stresses.
From the magical bays of Southeast Asia to
the rugged, red coasts of North Africa, the Huffington Post
Magazine also honoured Cape Town in South Africa, Lofoten Islands
in Norway, Krabi in Thailand, Amalfi Coast in Italy, Twelve Apostles in
Australia, Legzira in Morocco, Cap Blanc in Mauritania, Los Gigantes in
Spain and Cliffs of Moher in Ireland.-VNA
