Some information about Halong
Bio-diversity is an important natural resource and needs to be
preserved and conserved to maintain the ecological balance of the whole
region. Bio-diversity is the general term used to reflect diversify and
abundance in nature and includes all living things.
Halong Bay is a home of ancient Viet people.
Halong Bay’s geological value has been evaluated in two ways: by the history of its formation and by its karst geomorphology.
Throughout the ages many famous men, from both home and abroad, when
faced with the beauty of Halong’s sky and water have sung its praises
in different ways, especially in poems.
The permanent beauty of Ha Long is created by three factors: stone,
water and sky. Ha Long’s island system is multicolored with a variety
of shapes and can be regarded as a water-color, a work of art. The
islands, scattered all round, have different shapes which provoke the
imagination: Dinh Huong (Incense Burner) implies spiritual
significance, Ga Choi (Fighting Cocks) the symbol of Viet Nam tourism,
Con Coc (Toad) recalls the passage of time, waiting thousands of years
to seek justice in Heaven. There are islands that resemble a
resplendent throne, a Vietnamese mother’s curved back carrying her
child, a roof, an old man, a human head and so on.
