The attractions of Lan Ha Bay
Belongs to Cat Ba islands area, Hai Phong city, in the south of Ha Long Bay, Lan Ha Bay is considered as the second Ha Long Bay because it also has hundreds of islands like Halong Bay. It is home of 200 species of fish, 500 species of mollusk, 400 species of arthropod, and numerous hard and soft coral, while larger marine animals in the area include seals and three species of dolphins. This bay reserves more pristine scenery with an intense concentration of limestone, in which the sea surface has partitioned into smaller bays and gulfs. Coming to Lan Ha Bay, you will have more options for excursions at your disposal.
1. Ba Ham Lake
With a system comprising three wide and round pits, linked together by a narrow and meandering tunnel and the stalactites hang from the ceiling in a myriad of strange, colored forms, Ba Ham Lake has long been considered an ideal tourism zone. This cave is also the home of many species of plants such as orchids, benjamin figs, banyans and cycads, which blossom throughout the year and yellow-haired monkeys, birds, flying squirrels, and bats,… In Ha Long Bay, Ba Ham Lake is considered as the most outstanding site where still remains untouched natural scenery and special ecological environment. Although the river is deep, it’s so clear that one can see shoals of fish swimming.
2. Ba Trai Dao Beach
Towards the tourists who have been Ha Long Bay, they will not be surprised by Ba Trai Dao Beach beauty which is one of the most beautiful beaches on Halong Bay with three small 23-meter mountains like three-stone peaches. ”. Nowadays, Ba Trai Dao Island is well-known not only for its legend but also for its wonderfully secluded and pristine beach. There are beautiful white sand, clear blue water and sunny days on the beach for visitors to swim, look into the bottom of the water and relax comfortably.
3. Viet Hai Village
Be a small village in the midst of jungles, which belongs to the Cat Hai district of Hai Phong city, covered by high mountains range of the Cat Ba National Park, Viet Hai village becomes an ideal destination which has attracted an increasing number of both domestic and international tourists every year. In the village, tourists will be surprised at how friendly and kind-hearted villagers are. Moreover, Viet Hai is well-known as a land of joy and happiness with the sincerity, kindness, and optimism of villagers. Your mission is just to immerse yourself in the peaceful life of the local people here to have a very enjoyable experience.
4. Dark and Bright Cave
Dark and Bright Cave is regarded as “the Forgotten Paradise”- a poetic and surrounded by walls of stones in different scales and sizes. The combination of a number of factors such as the mountain's size and form, the color of the water and the clouds is the most valuable mark of Dark and Bright Cave. Here, the water level changes dramatically as the tides shift, and the matter of timing is essential in order to have an amazing experience. However, that doesn’t seem to be able to stop anyone from visiting the location and make themselves a forgettable trip and even hunt a few rare and special photographs.
