City: Ha Long City

Hạ Long is a vibrant coastal town and the main starting point for exploring the legendary World Heritage Ha Long Bay. Divided by an impressive bridge into two halves, Bai Chay (the tourist one) and Hon Gai (the local one), the city has undergone a spectacular transformation, going from a mining town to a leisure metropolis with modern entertainment complexes, a lively promenade and a gastronomy focused on the treasures of the sea.

Tips for Family

Take the Cable Car for the Views

Even if you don't enter the theme park, the ride on the Queen cable car across the bay offers some of the best aerial views of the karst landscape and the city.

Visit Hon Gai Fish Market at Sunrise

For a very authentic local experience, go to the Hon Gai main market early in the morning to watch the boats unload the day's catch. It is a vibrant and photogenic chaos.

Negotiation

In the markets and with street vendors, negotiation is common. Always do it with a smile.

Tap Water

Don't drink tap water. Always consume bottled water.

Street Food

Use common sense. Choose stalls that are busy and where you can see that the food is cooked to order.

Verify your Tour

When booking a cruise from the city, make sure the agency is trustworthy. Ask to see photos of the boat and read recent reviews to avoid scams.

Taxis and Grab

Always use taxis from trusted companies (like Mai Linh) and make sure they use the meter, or use the Grab app to have a fixed price and avoid negotiations.
