{"id":458,"count":10,"description":"A must-see site in Vietnam listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994, Halong Bay is an immense body of water rich in about 2000 loaves of sugar emerging from the sea.\r\n\r\nIts name comes from legends that a dragon, by the strength of its tail, has shaped this fragmented landscape recognizable among all. \u00abHa Long\u00bb means \u00abdragon descending into the sea\u00bb.\r\n\r\nThe legend tells that the exceptional landscape of this bay is due to the dragon, to be wonderful and beneficial to Vietnam, which would have descended into the sea to tame the marine currents. Struggling, he cut the mountain with his tail. And as the water level began to rise, it showed only the highest peaks.\r\n\r\nBoard a boat for an unforgettable cruise or fly over Halong Bay by seaplane. Explore Lan Ha Bay further south, less touristy but equally spectacular, or Bai Tu Long, to the north. On the program: hidden caves, kayak ride, swimming, visit of fishing villages.\r\n\r\nNote that for the 3 days and 2 nights cruises, except in private junk, the second day takes place on a different boat for activities (day 2 bis in the programs) which comes between days 1 and 2 of the programs of 2 days and 1 night.","link":"https:\/\/senteursduvietnam.com\/en\/travel-vietnam\/ha-long-bay\/","name":"Halong Bay","slug":"ha-long-bay","taxonomy":"ba_destinations","parent":478,"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/senteursduvietnam.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ba_destinations\/458","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/senteursduvietnam.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ba_destinations"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/senteursduvietnam.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/ba_destinations"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/senteursduvietnam.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ba_destinations\/478"}]}}
