Ha Long Bay transforms after dark. Neighborhoods around Limestone Karst Island Scenery and Sung Sot (Surprise) Cave take on new energy, new sounds, and new possibilities — and the best way to discover it is on foot, moving between venues the way locals do. Track down Bai Tu Long Bay for the kind of night that only locals know about.
Ha Long Bay is a UNESCO World Heritage seascape of nearly 2,000 limestone karst islands rising from emerald waters. Walking through floating villages, clifftop viewpoints, and island caves reveals one of the natural wonders of the world.

Ha Long Bay is primarily visited for nature and photography, but the city takes on a different character at night.
