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 Gastronomy

Try the 'Chả Mực'

Squid sausage is Ha Long's most famous specialty. It is often eaten with 'bánh cuốn' (steamed rice rolls). It's delicious.

Cross to Hon Gai for Lunch

For a more authentic and cheaper dining experience, cross the Bai Chay Bridge to Hon Gai. The seafood restaurants there are frequented by locals and offer better value for money.
