The story: "Once, when the Vietnamese people for nation building, people are living in peace with the invading enemy alien territory. Before the enemy strength, heaven sent Mother Dragon and her Child Dragons to help people. When the enemy ships to attack from the sea rushing to the shore, the dragons and spray away countless pearls. These pearls into her avoid imposing numerous islands, linked as a solid wall. The enemy is working fast boat suddenly stopped immediately crashed into the islands, shattering thrust into each other apart. After the victory, the scene on earth peace, lush vegetation, the people here hard, unite and help one another. Mother Dragon and Child Dragons did not heaven, but stayed on earth. Accommodation Mother Dragon landed was Ha Long, where dragon dragons flanking the mother is Bai Tu Long. The tail of the dragon back to white now are Long Tails (ie day Tra Co Peninsula). "

From the top down, Ha Long Bay as a huge picture of hydraulic wear. With thousands of islands like shape, looks different as the sparkling jewel flange is attached to the blue veil of her girls. They are art works of talented creator. Take the Long House, we thought lost in a fairy world was petrified. First, the Hon-like someone who is looking to the mainland. Dragon Island is like a dragon hovering above the water. Hon La Vong is like an old man sitting fishing the immense waves. And the other two sails are turning brown athletic ultramarine waves off - Hon sail; and two chickens playing with each other on the sea - Halong ... These wonderful islands was of incalculable variables over time and perspective.

Hidden in the heart of the islands was beautiful caves. Hang Sung Sot is located in the heart of World Heritage Halong Bay. Hang is divided into two main compartment. The entire first compartment as a major theater wander wide. The ceiling is covered with a layer of "corruption" shiny, countless "chandeliers hang" in blazing bright stone, the stone statues, stone elephants, flowers ... all seem to be moving in a fantasy world as real as dreaming. Not all surprised by the beauty of the creation of magic, we step into the second compartment by a small road. A stream of light rushed into brilliant, opens a new frame completely different port, preventing the vast can accommodate thousands. Go to the top of the unexpected, an area "royal garden" open front, with clear water lakes, charming landscape painting, like plants, such as si, Long live, the most ancient bird species to live. The beautiful day, pulling together groups of monkeys down here to find fruit to eat as a regional turmoil.

In the embossed characters in the fairy tales of old, carved soft, flexible and extremely sharp sophistication. The block is a massive sculpture or even tiny hands are made of polished meticulously. Center is four pillars of the big burly prop heaven. From feet to the top of columns are embossed many strange shapes like birds, fish, scene of human activity, spike flowers ... On the north wall is the scene a herd of fairies are dancing. Under the immeasurably high roof, stalactites hung down each beam forming colorful natural stone curtain splendid. Where there is flickering like the drums in the old village festival. That is the wind blowing through the interstitial ice. Faced with the immeasurably high roof, stalactites color green as jade inlaid stand it just imagine the scene in Penglai so ...
