Description
Legend has it that this incredible scenery was created by a family of dragons who came to defend locals under attack by invaders. The jade and emerald boulders the dragons spewed at the enemy turned into the thousands of islands in the bay.
When the battle was over, the dragons chose to make Halong Bay their home and plunged into the sea, where they sleep today. The name Halong means “where the dragon descends to the water.”
