Ruby mining exploration in North Vietnam
Entry 1 of 1 | show all | print this entry |
We arrived in Hanoi, Vietnam on April15th, 2005 from Bangkok, Thailand . The main focus for this expedition to North Vietnam was on ruby, but we had also an interest in other gemstones such as spinels and pearls.
We traveled first from Hanoi to the Yen Bai region and its beautiful Luc Yen mining area. Then we returned to Hanoi to have an excursion to Halong Hay searching for pearl farms. Finaly we went near Vinh to visit the remote Quy Chau ruby mining area.
