Halong Bay Half Day Cruise

Halong Bay, known as the "Guilin on the Sea", is listed as one of the Seven Wonders of the New World. Now that you are in Hanoi, how can you not come and see it? However, it seems that you have to leave Hanoi early in the morning and return on the same day, which seems to lose the leisure of a free trip. I decided to take a seven-person minibus to Halong a day earlier, explore the surroundings, and join a local one-day tour the next day. It is said to be a one-day cruise, but the actual gathering time is around 12 noon and ends at 5:30 in the evening. It can only be barely called a half-day tour! Since we were in an English tour group, after meeting the tour guide, all the fellow travelers were foreign Europeans and Americans, and we deeply experienced the scene of "Chinese hiding from the sun, while foreigners basking in the sun" It was lunch time as soon as we got on the boat. A simple set meal kicked off the journey, and then we went to the classic three islands: Ti-top, Ba Hang Floating and Surprise Cave We chose to play in the water at Ti-top. The clean and cool sea water and white sand made the children have a lot of fun We chose a multi-person bamboo raft for Ba Hang Floating. Fortunately, we chose this choice. We saw that the tourists paddling canoes were hit by the bamboo raft and were shaken left and right, and we were a little worried about their safety The strange rocks and stalactites in the Surprise Cave opened up the children's imagination. From turtles to monkeys to rabbits, they all appeared beside them Snacks, fruits, tea and ice towels on the return trip solved the heat outside in time The short half-day tour was very fulfilling, and the cost was much cheaper than the overnight boat.
