    When people ask you what you remember about Vietnam, Ha Long Bay will definitely sit at the top of the list. Located in the north east of the country in the south Chinese sea, this is the jewel of Vietnam. I recommend taking a couple of days exploring the bay on one of the many excursions run by the travel agents in Hanoi and Ha Long city. I personally took the Hanoi Backpackers Rocking boat tour, which is a travellers party boat including a stay on their own personal castaway island. Drinking is mandatory!

    Paddling a kayak at sunset around the bay is a necessity, as well as exploring some of the caves around the bay that was used to hide weapons during the Viet-American war
