Overview of Ha Long Bay tourism
Ha Long Bay is no longer a new name on the tourist map of Vietnam, so every time Quang Ninh is mentioned, people immediately remember Ha Long Bay. Although many people are now flocking to pristine islands such as Co To, Quan Lan or Dragon’s Eye, if they have not “taken a look” at Ha Long Bay, it is a huge omission.
Ha Long Bay has been developing tourism for many years, so whether you travel on your own or follow a Ha Long tour, it is extremely easy, including transportation to sea and island services.
Means of transportation when traveling to Ha Long Bay
* Stage 1: From Hanoi to Ha Long
From Hanoi, you can follow two routes to get to Ha Long, one is from Hanoi along route 5 through Sai Dong intersection along route 1 to Bac Ninh; From Bac Ninh along route 18 through Pha Lai, Chi Linh, Dong Trieu, Uong Bi and then to Ha Long. Second, you go along Noi Bai airport road, to Bac Ninh, connect to National Highway 18A and then continue to Ha Long.
Going from Hanoi to Ha Long, if you go by motorbike, it takes about 4-5 hours, by car it only takes about 3 hours to get there because the distance is only about 160 km.
If you want to go by bus, it’s even easier, just go to Luong Yen or My Dinh wharf to buy a bus ticket to Ha Long for about 150 – 200,000 VND.
In addition to the above two means of transportation, you can also buy train tickets departing from Gia Lam station to Ha Long, which takes about 5 hours. There is another way to travel, more advanced and modern, which is the seaplane of Hai Au Airlines. Not only will you save time going to Ha Long Bay, but you can also record images of this city from an altitude of 150m to 3000m above sea level. Of course, not everyone can take a seaplane because it is very expensive.
* Stage 2: Visit Ha Long Bay
If you want to travel within the city, you can rent a taxi, but if you want to go to the bay, you need to buy a train ticket. Ticket price ranges from 150,000/person. If you go as a family or as a group, you should rent a private boat, each boat costs about 1.5 – 1.7 million VND, the tour time is from 4 to 6 hours.
4-hour tour includes: Thien Cung Cave, Dau Go, Fighting Islet, wandering around the Bay at close range.
6-hour tour includes: Thien Cung Cave, Fighting Cock Islet, Titov beach, wandering around the Bay for a longer distance.
Thus, the more hours you take the train, the more places you will be able to visit, and the price is not much more expensive, so if you have already gone, don’t regret it.
Which season is best to travel to Ha Long?
Ha Long Bay is in the North of our country, so there are 4 seasons a year. To travel to Ha Long most beautifully, you should go in the summer, from about April to October every year is best.
In June-July, because this is the time when Ha Long Bay is most “popular” with tourists, service prices will increase and tourists will also be crowded. If you don’t book a room in advance or don’t have enough money, you should avoid it.
If you want to go at a good time with affordable prices, go from around March-May, August-October.
