The mystical scenery of Ha Long Bay , peppered with thousands of evocatively craggy limestone outcrops, is what draws people to the northeast coast of Vietnam, and there are plenty of tourist boats and accommodation in nearby Ha Long City to facilitate your visit. Cat Ba Island , accessible from the port city of Haiphong , makes a less touristy base for bay trips. If you still haven't tired of karst scenery, head inland, south of Hanoi, for the city of Ninh Binh and make a day-trip to Tam Coc . Vietnam borders China 150km up the coast from Ha Long Bay, and foreigners in possession of the right visa can enter China at Mong Cai.
