Halong Bay, what hasn't been shown


Snacks right on the freeway to Halong Bay.

Vietnamese cemetery right along the road to Halong Bay.

The largest caves in Halong Bay.



The Red River Delta, the place you drive through on your way to Halong Bay.


Between the Red River Delta (Halong Bay) and the Mekong Delta (around Saigon) Vietnam is the second largest exporter of rice in the world. Above you see a fresh crop of rice drying right on the sidewalk. I saw it spread right on the asphalt called the road to Halong Bay. That is why you need to check your rice for stones, rocks and worn asphalt.

Don't get scared, at 90 km/hr and 50 meters to go, you should be able to squeeze your tour bus on the right. Rear view mirrors cleared by at least one inch, more than enough.




Wonder why the air quality was bad in Hanoi? They were harvasting the rice field right around town and burning down the left over stock.

Village along the way.
