me going to hanoi this dec 3
tak de la winter sgt kot tapi tgk suhu dia dalam 16-18C
for malaysian tak perlu visa for less than a month visit
dalam tiket dah stated tak perlu visa
i naik mas at rm1600 inc taxes (return)
dok kat mod palace sbb all other participants seme dok situ
well rasa makanan halal susah sikit kot.. i packed mini megi, mini sneakers, tuna in tin..
then takut cirit birit kalau silap pilih tempat
i read that avoid taking ice drink sbb dorang main letak je ais tu kat atas jalan cenggitu je
mcm nak muntah tengok..

dekat url address yang aku paste tu i oso read about taking airport taxi and the hassle created by the taxi drivers.. ada mat saleh komplen taxi driver tu org suh hantar kat hotel A dia tanak dia bawak jugak kat hotel2 lain yang dia boleh dapat komisyen.. mat saleh tu cakap driver tu siap suh dia masuk tengok2 bilik lagi.. so me worried about that terus aku suh hotel tu book taxi tunggu aku kat airport.. kos taxi tu USD15

tourist comment on Halong Bay

The top highlight of tour that you should do while visiting Hanoi. It is geographically amazing as thousands of islands erect from the ocean, creating such a spectacular wonder. There are different selection of tour you can try with it: one day, two days with one night and three days with two night. I would highly recommend 2 days with 1 night by sleeping on the boat. Sleeping on the roof the boat is truly the first time experience for me as I sleep with thousands of stars twinkling above me and wake up with the sunrise and the smell of the island. Highly recommended!

Halong Bay is justifiably a World Heritage Site. Set in the emerald waters of the Gulf of Tonkin, the stand out feature is a series of tiny islands with mountainous terrain. The scenery is storybook stuff and as an added interest, there are numerous illuminated caves you can explore as well. Though it can be visited as an independent traveler, it is much easier and perhaps even cheaper to do it on a group tour from Hanoi. Just remember it is a 3.5 hour trip one way so a day trip is not really worth it unless very pressed for time. You can arrange multi-day trips and we did one where you can stay right on the boat in the bay. It抯 cheap and well worth it. And this comes from someone that had awful weather. Remember also that Halong Bay is famous for bad weather. The summers are stormy and the winters drizzly. Go in spring if you can arrange it and good luck.
