Vietnam’s Ha Long Bay has been ranked as one of the 150 most beautiful natural wonders in the world by the French leading e-magazine, L’Internaute, according to the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism.
 
An article portraying Ha Long Bay – a world natural heritage, was published in September in the Voyager (tourism) column of L’Internaute magazine.
 
The article noted that apart from its thousands of charming islands and beautiful caves, Ha Long Bay is also home to a wide biodiversity that includes eco-systems like mangrove forests, coral reefs and tropical forests.
 
The Bay, which was twice recognized by UNESCO for its landscape and geological value, currently ranks 4th out of the top 28 nominees at the third stage of a campaign voting for the world’s seven new natural wonders. (VNA)
