Vietnam- Halong Bay- Day 3

From Hanoi, take a 1.5hr ride to a souvenir shop for a rest for 20 mins. And another 20hrs to Halong City.
Halong Bay departure terminal
Junk boats
The so called 3 star junk boat.
Paid $75USD for single supplement
Sung Sot Cave
This place is packed with tourist, it is also very dangerous with so many people on the stairs at a go.





This is not what I want.
One lesson learnt, You pay and don't know what you will get in Vietnam.
I paid a 4 star deluxe tour and eventually get a 3 Star standard tour. The boat name changed entirely. Was told to have free fishing and kayaking and we need to pay in the end.

Rooms below
No air-conditioning, no water heater. No electricity before 6.30pm.
Whole room is so stuffy, mattress just sunken in when lied on it. This is 4 star discomfort.


Hạ Long Bay has an area of around 1,553 km2, including 1,960 islets, most of which are limestone. The core of the bay has an area of 334 km2 with a high density of 775 islets.
Our tour guide did not show and share the information for Halong Bay, I got the information from Wiki.
What can I say, I'm in "standard" tour.


Swimming is free
