Halong Bay captivates from any angle, but the best ways to take in its natural beauty is from the sea or the air. Hop aboard a traditional junk boat and wind your way around the bay’s 1,600 islands. Or ride across the bay on the Queen Telpher cable car system, which holds two Guinness World Records.

Innsidetips
1 Tipping isn’t customary in Vietnam, but it is a nice way to say “thank you” for exceptional service.
2 Since Vietnam is a manufacturing country, you’ll likely find great deals on high-quality and name-brand clothing, so keep an eye out.
3 If you see vendors selling stalagmites and stalactites, refrain from purchasing them — they should stay in Halong Bay’s caves.
