There's a picture book that describes Halong Bay, Vietnam so well, "Here you'll find grottos, caves and small waterfalls and rocks that look like fairy-tale castles submerged in the water. This spectacular bay in the north of Vietnam is filled with over 1,500 islands, countless rocks and vast, rugged columns of limestone. These extraordinary shapes were formed as the water wore away at the limestone over millions of years." So there you have it. Add it to your travel bucket list if it isn't already on it.
