Ha Long Bay is one of the most popular natural attractions in Southeast Asia and one of the most beautiful places in Vietnam, CNN said.

According to CNN, with 1,969 islets of hulking limestone and deep, green waters that are home to myriad floating villages, visitors can sail on a junk boat or pick up a kayak, and get lost in the quieter reaches of this vast and fascinating corner of the sea.

Ha Long Bay has long been the most attractive destination for international tourists to Vietnam. Travel sites have been constantly giving the best comments for this UNESCO’s natural heritage.

Earlier this year, many international travel websites included Ha Long Bay in several ranking lists. In February 2023, the famous international travel magazine Travel+Leisure recommended Ha Long Bay, as one of the four ideal destinations for beautiful sunrises and sunsets, during any season.

In addition to Ha Long Bay of Vietnam, CNN listed 24 others in the list of the most beautiful places in the world, including Bwindi Impenetrable Forest (Uganda), Samburu (Kenya), Mount Toubkal (Morocco), Zhangjiajie National Forest Park (China), The Maldives, Petra (Jordan), Positano (Italy) and Cappadocia (Turkey).
