【Halong Bay Attractions】
📍Fighting Cock Rocks
Two small stone mountains about 12 meters high, resembling a pair of roosters with outstretched wings, stand facing each other across a narrow sea channel.

These two rock formations have been chosen as the most unique image of Halong Bay.
📍Titop Island
Titop Island consists of an island, sea, and beach. The waters around Titop Island are so clear that they will mesmerize you, with a blue-green hue like a sapphire. The island itself is not very high, with its highest peak only about 200 meters.

From the top, you can see the vast blue sea surrounded by islands, with the green islands becoming the most beautiful embellishment of the sea. Boats weaving through create a dynamic picture.
📍Surprise Cave
It is one of the largest and most beautiful caves in Halong Bay. Covering an area of about 10,000 square meters, it is divided into three chambers: outer, middle, and inner.

One of the features of the Surprise Cave is that the ceiling is dotted with countless small pits, making visitors feel as if they are walking under a sky full of clouds.
