Google maps: Ha Long Bay, Vietnam
Ha Long Bay is a Unesco World Heritage Site and consists of thousands of limestone karsts and isles of various shapes and sizes. It is also a tourist epicentre of Vietnam with thousands of visitors every day. So it is really hard to escape the crowds even if you on a small boat. There are so many other boats around you that you never feel alone.
But then even despite the crowds and grey weather it is still an amazing site. Especially when you take a kayak and paddle to a secluded lagoon just when everyone else has already left for dinner. Or when you sit at night on a terrace of your boat anchored in a small bay sipping Hanoi beer. Until now Vietnam was fun, but not really spectacular or breathtaking - we had to wait for the best for last...
