Hanoi and Halong region

• Hanoi, the capital where “Vietnamese life” blends with its colonial past. Scooters are everywhere in the narrow maze of streets, crowded with all kinds of small shops. The crowded sidewalks create quite a spectacle!
• Halong Bay, world-famous and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994 for its exceptional landscapes. Spend one or more nights aboard a traditional-style junk boat for a romantic cruise through jade-colored waters, weaving among islets and coves.
• The “Halong Bay on land” is best explored by flat-bottomed sampan in a beautiful setting of rice fields and limestone peaks.
