Halong Bay
A natural wonder of the world in view of skyscrapers only two hours away from Hanoi. Traditionally the bay was filled with markets and fishermen and traders from all over the world but today it is filled with tourist cruises of which we took one. Luckily the bay was one of the calmest bodies of water I have ever been on and we spent the day sailing though limestone islands in super green waters. We heard the area used to be filled with rays and fish but we saw no sign of either. We did see some bats though. Plastic pollution definitely has taken ahold in this area which was very sad to see.
