We spent a week there and I didn’t want to leave.
Although it was summer, it was quite cool at night because the area is more than 2,000 meters above sea level.
On our first day, a park ranger led us on a guided hike along the edge of the canyon.
He talked about the history of the area. He also talked about the original inhabitants who lived there during the Stone Age

Dear Duy,
How are you?
My family has just came back from a trip to Ha Long bay in Quang Ninh. It has been a great tourist attraction since it was claimed World Cultural Heritage. This is the first time I visited Ha Long Bay. We spent a week there and I didn’t want to leave.
It was a long way from my house to Ha Long Bay so it was took us more than one hour to get there by bus.
The sightseeing was wonderful and magnificent and the weather was cool and comfortable . I was very relaxed and happy.
That’s all I have time to tell you about. What do you plan to do during the summer vacation? Write to me as soon as possible.
Your friend,
Tuan.
