The emerald waters and towering limestone karsts made every angle feel like a postcard. I joined a day cruise, which turned out to be the perfect way to soak in the views without feeling rushed. The boat glided smoothly between the cliffs, and I really enjoyed being on the upper deck, letting the breeze hit my face while taking in the surreal scenery. One of the stops was Thien Cung Cave — walking through the cool, echo-filled chambers lined with stalactites felt like entering a different world. What stood out most was the sense of calm and grandeur — the silence between the cliffs, the soft sound of waves, and the occasional distant call of seabirds. It was a serene, visually stunning experience, perfect for slowing down and reconnecting with nature. Travel Tips and How to Get There: • Best time to visit: October to April — dry season offers clearer skies and pleasant weather. • What to bring: Hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, water bottle, light jacket, and a camera. • Recommended experiences: • Take a day or overnight cruise depending on your time. • Explore Thien Cung Cave — a fascinating natural attraction. • Enjoy the cruise deck views — especially during quiet stretches between islands. • Spot famous formations like the Fighting Cocks Islet. • Some cruises offer light local meals — enjoy fresh seafood if available. • Good for: Nature lovers, families, photographers, couples, and slow travelers. • Vibe: Calm, cinematic, peaceful. How to Get There: • From Hanoi: • By shuttle or tourist bus: 2.5–3.5 hours via expressway; many cruises include hotel pick-up. • By private car: Ideal for small groups or families who want more flexibility. • Cruise departure point: Usually from Tuan Chau Marina or Bai Chay Harbour. • Pro tip: Book your cruise in advance, especially during high season weekends and holidays.

Cafe Gió is a cafe with good atmosphere and scenery. Sitting here with friends, drinking coffee, chatting, looking at the sea in front of us, it feels really comfortable and enjoyable

🇻🇳Our Hanoi Happenings🇻🇳 Our second stop on our UNESCO World Heritage Site on Halong Bay is the ‘Sung Sot Cave’ also known as ‘Surprising Cave’. A place so amazing that the French,who discovered it, deemed it “Grotte des Surprises” or (Surprise Grotto), Sung Sot Cave is the biggest, and one of the most beautiful caves in Halong Bay and an absolute highlight on most Halong Bay itineraries. The cave is also on the island of Bo Hon, along with other popular Halong caves. Our guide Linh told us that Sung Sot Cave is divided into two chambers; the first chamber, known as the “Waiting Room” which is massive, adorned by stalagmites and stalactites and lit by multicolored lights positioned to complement the chamber’s structural beauty. Then in order to reach the second chamber, visitors must walk down a narrow passageway. The second chamber is known as the “Serene Castle”. This chamber is large and grand with an extremely high ceiling and has many interesting rock formations which locals identify by likening them to animals due to their shapes, some shaped as monkeys and lions. One eye-catching rock formation is shaped like a horse with a long-sword and has a legend behind it. #timetotravel #urbanexplorer #awesomepic #境外遊 #trip #Travel
