Introduction |
|
|
Situated
in the North-East region of Vietnam,
Halong Bay is a bay in the Gulf of Tonkin
comprised of regions of Halong City, the
township of Cam Pha, and a part of the island
district of Van Don. |
|
 |
| |
Halong Bay is made
up of 1,969 islands of various sizes, 989 of
which have been given names. There are two kinds
of islands, limestone and schist, which are
concentrated in two main zones: the southeast
(belonging to Bai Tu Long Bay), and the
southwest (belonging to Halong Bay). It is also
a region of highly-concentrated biological
diversity with many eco systems of salt
water-flooded forests, coral reefs, and tropical
forests featuring thousands of species of animal
and plant life. Viewed from above, Halong Bay
resembles a geographic work of art. At the core
of the islands, there are wonderful caves and
grottoes, such as Thien Cung (Heavenly Residence
Grotto), Dau Go (Driftwood Grotto), Sung Sot
(Surprise Grotto), and Tam Cung (Three Palace
Grotto). With all this in mind, the 18th
meeting of the Committee of the World Heritages
of UNESCO (in Thailand on December 17th, 1994),
officially recognized Ha long Bay as a natural
heritage site of worldwide importance.This
densely concentrated zone of stone islands,
world famous for its spectacular scenery of
grottoes and caves, forms the central zone of
Halong Bay, which has been named a UNESCO World
Heritage Site. |
