672 VN - Ha Long Bay (1994)

Brief Description

"Ha Long Bay, in the Gulf of Tonkin, includes some 1,600 islands and islets, forming a spectacular seascape of limestone pillars. Because of their precipitous nature, most of the islands are uninhabited and unaffected by a human presence. The site's outstanding scenic beauty is complemented by its great biological interest."
下龙湾
"下龙湾坐落于东京海湾。它的1600个岛屿和小岛构成了一幅石灰石柱的壮观海景。由于地势陡峭,大部分岛屿无人居住且没有受到人类活动的干扰。此地秀美的自然风光与生态价值相辅相成,交相辉映。"
