Ha Long means Descending Dragon in Vietnamese

Legend has it that at the beginning era of this country, the Vietnamese had to face fierce invasion from another country coming from the North through the sea.

So they prayed for a miracle. In order to help the people fight against invaders, Emperor Jade sent a mother dragon down together with her children to stop the enemy’s ships.

As the ships advanced into Vietnam’s ocean, the dragons spat fire at them.

At the same time, they were spitting out jewels and jade which turned into islands and islets dotting the emerald waters and linking together to form a great wall preventing outsiders’ intrusion.

After the invaders were defeated, the dragon fell in love with the peaceful seascape and decided to make their home in the bay.

Thus, the place the mother dragon descended onto is now called Halong Bay.

It is one of the seven wonders of the world

I visited it after touring Ha Noi with my wife

The scenery was beautiful and we went on a cruise for 2 days

Some pics I captured:

Have you seen how his wife looks, anyone would go crazy and start to act in a deranged way.

An Asian with a white, blonde wife simply wouldn't have time for this shit, it's like he would win the lottery, he would be too happy and just enjoy life with his wife, he wouldn't post on autistic forums, I really doubt that's you in the photos.
