HA LONG BAY (VIETNAM)
GENERAL INFORMATION- Ha Long Bay is a vision of ethereal beauty with Towering limestone pillars and tiny islets topped by forest rise from the emerald waters of the Gulf of Tonkin. Ha Long Bay has an area of around 1,553 km2, including 1,969 islets, most of which are limestone. The core of the bay has an area of 334 km2 with a high density of 775 islets. Of the 1,969 islands in Ha Long, only approximately 40 are inhabited. Ha Long Bay is a mature karst landscape developed during a warm, wet, tropical climate. (Karst is a landscape formed from the dissolution of soluble rocks such as limestone, dolomite, and gypsum.) The evolution of the karst in this bay has taken 20 million years under the impact of the tropical wet climate. These cones with sloping sides average 100m in height with the tallest exceeding 200m. Fenglin karst is characterised by steep separate towers. In 1994, the core zone of Ha Long Bay was listed as a World Heritage Site. Many of the islands have acquired their names as a result of interpretation of their unusual shapes. Such names include Voi Islet (elephant), Ga Choi Islet (fighting cock), Khi Islet (monkey), and Mai Nha Islet (roof).These limestone monolithic islands each topped with thick jungle vegetation, rising spectacularly from the ocean. Several of the islands are hollow, with enormous caves. Hang Dau Go (Wooden stakes cave) is the largest grotto in the Ha Long area. There are two bigger islands, Tuan Chau and Cat Ba, that have permanent inhabitants, as well as tourist facilities including hotels and beaches. Another specific feature of Ha Long Bay is the abundance of lakes inside the limestone islands. For example, Dau Be island has six enclosed lakes. All these island lakes occupy drowned dolines within fengcong karst.

GEOGRAPHY- Ha Long Bay was a deep sea, but this changed ,the bay went from being an area of deep water to a shallow one as a result of tectonic movement which lifted the whole area.
