Executive summary

Ha
Long Bay or in
Indonesian means dragon bay is calm
the waters with the famous water. In
the story of its history, the region is the abode of the dragon protector
Vietnamese nation.
Geographically,
the region is located in Quang Ninh
province, northeast of Hanoi.
To
achieve the dragon bay recognized as a Unesco world heritage, it takes about
2.5 hours drive.
Early February, Ha
Long Bay welcomes its visitors with a foggy and cold air temperature of 14
degrees Celsius. It
was pretty cool for people who live in tropical countries, like mine. In
addition to met the cold air, I also saw a group of tourists from China
eager to wade Ha Long Bay.
When off 'Tet' (the name for the Lunar New Year in
Vietnam),
the bay was crowded attacked tourists from China.
That's
because the geographical location of the two countries are adjacent and can be
accessed by road.
Dragon Bay into
visual wealth to succeed I had while serving as a translator entourage 'Sekar Jagad',
a community of lovers of batik in Indonesia.
Small brown boats
commonly called 'junk' by the local people were waiting on the edge of the dock
Bay Cay. The ship
will take us adventuring in the bay of the dragon.
View of a
collection of ships vanished as soon as we go deeper into this bay. Eyes
began spoiled islands of limestone totaling 1,969 pieces that lay in the bay
area of 1,553 square kilometers.
Hang Sung Sot
Although many
islands in the bay dragon that can not be visited, there is one island that can
enjoy its beauty. Hang
her name sung sot, one natural cave nicknamed 'cave of surpirses' on the island Bo hon.
Goa is founded by
the French in 1901, it has a lot of surprises, even from the beginning we set
foot here. The
first surprise is the 400 stairs to step to get in and out of the Hang Sung
Sot. It
is not so pronounced because of the many tourists who kinship step down
emotion.
When fatigue
began clung batch, put it toward the moment we outlook bay. There
presented the composition of the vessel, limestone islands, as well as charming
trees that are ready to be 'mood booster'
for climbing.
Hang Sung Sot has
three different spaces. Each space is
distinguished by its size. Entering the
first space seem crowded and bustling atmosphere. The
small size of the first room other than the space air, and its shape is a
little box. Here
tourists provided interesting photo spots, set detail with the lights, so it
looks a cave wall surface background with curves.
Satisfied
photographed in the first room, I slipped into a narrow gap that can only be
passed by a single person. This
gap led me to the second chamber is much bigger and wider. This is
evident from the high ceiling cave in the second room. The
second room ceiling, dubbed 'serene castle' is decorated with many stalactites
with various sizes and shapes.
In the second
room, I fixated on the view of ceiling cave full of stalactites. However,
there are other things that also seized attention me, the graffiti on the walls
of the cave. Many posts smelling
vandalism in the cave wall. Many
of them bearing the name of the people and of their arrival to the Hang Sung
Sot. Vandalism
oldest I've seen reads 1929.
When moved to the
largest room in the hang sung sot, I met John Bozonat and Lise, married native
Quebec, Canada.
'Our
dream is already a long time to go to Ha long bay,' said Lise.
However, John
chimed in with personal reasons, Ha Long Bay reminiscent of my brother (French
soldiers) who had been involved in the Vietnam war, 'he said.
After the first
200 steps resolved, it was time 200 steps leading to immediate step way home,
we kept getting lost in. swirl in Ha
Long Bay.
