Nature & Coastal Heritage in Bai Tu Long Bay
Bai Tu Long Bay is a landscape shaped by the sea, limestone and centuries of coastal life. Located northeast of Halong Bay, the region is known for its emerald waters, forest-covered islands, quiet beaches and dramatic karst formations.
Beyond its natural beauty, Bai Tu Long Bay has a rich maritime heritage. The historic Van Don Port once connected Đại Việt with trading communities across Asia, welcoming merchant vessels carrying ceramics, silk and other valuable goods.
Today, traditional fishing villages, floating homes and working boats remain part of the bay’s living culture. Visitors can explore this heritage through peaceful cruises, bamboo-boat journeys, kayaking excursions and encounters with local communities.
