SKETCH OF NORTH INDOCHINA- Day 4: 100326- Cao Bang, Halong Bay

Today is the earliest day we start our journey, just 4am we start drive from Cao Bang.

After long drive, we finally reached HaLong city about 1pm. We took speed boad transfer to HuongHai Junk.

After nice seafood lunch, everyone nonstop to press their camera on sundeck for personal portrait nor nice scenery along Halong Bay.

I like this Junk so much due to the good condition of the room and bed, nice food and also cleanliness of the environment.

After the lunch, we proceed foir visit the Sung Sot Cave, situated in the centre of the UNESCO-declared World Heritage area, the Sung Sôt or Surprise Grotto is on Bo Hòn Island, and is one of the finest and widest grottoes of Ha Long Bay.

From the wharf, you climb 50 steep stone stairs to the mouth of the grotto, which lies 25 m above the sea level. Going down some 10 stone stairs, you reach the mouth of a grotto. The grotto covers some 10,000 m2. Inside the grotto there have thousands of stalactites and stalagmites along the 500-meter paved passage. Light posts line the passage and serve as signposts and ornaments. The lighting system with elegant styles adds more charm to the beauty of the grotto.

The entrance and exit of this cave is nice for photography for Halong Bay. The chocolate color ship, green color island and blue color sky paint the nice harmony view of Halong Bay.

After the cave, we proceed to Titov island. The beach is full of the fine and cold sand, and a viewing deck on the top of the hill on Titov island.

Night on the ship is not boring, sharing the time with friend or you can fishing alone on the sundeck will make u enjoy the stress less life.
