Tour description
Ha Long City is the lively gateway to one of the natural wonders of the world, the UNESCO-listed Ha Long Bay with its thousands of limestone islands rising from emerald water. Beyond the cruise boats lies a real working city with a rich fishing heritage. On this walking tour a local guide reveals the town and the legends of the bay.
You will stroll the Bai Chay waterfront, hear the myth of the descending dragon that gave the bay its name, and learn about the fishing communities that have lived among the karsts for generations. Along the way you will take in unforgettable views over the water. Scenic and legendary, Ha Long is a memorable place to explore on foot.
