Some 1,600 islands, thick with greenery, form a maze of channels in the azure waters off northeastern Vietnam. Although people have lived in the region of Ha Long Bay for thousands of years, most of the islands remain uninhabited. But these coves and natural towers are rich with wildlife. For centuries, this spectacular seascape has inspired wonder.
The name Ha Long, Vietnamese for “descending dragon,” is reflected in a legend: Once, when the Viet people faced invasion, a dragon flew down from heaven to their defense. The creature sprayed not only fire, but also jewels that became the green archipelago.
The scientific explanation for the rock formations, known as karst, is also amazing. For millions of years, seashells and sediments fell to an ancient seafloor, forming solid rock. Tectonic activity raised the resulting limestone above water. Rainfall and rivers dissolved exposed rock, and carved valleys that flooded after the last ice age, creating this rare example of a karst field at sea.
Features include lakes and caves through the islands, and notches and tunnels where seawater has worn at the pillars' foundations. The fantastic landscape also continues into two adjacent national parks, on Cat Ba Island and Bai Tu Long Bay.
You can go kayaking, caving, or even take a ride in a seaplane to experience the grandeur of these enchanting tropical islands.

Wildlife Adventure Vlog Cat Tien Vietnam
This is a vlog of my visit to Cat Tien Naional Park in southern Vietnam from my trip to Vietnam in March of 2018. The park is amazing, with gorgeous views, exotic wildlife, and immense biodiversity. I highly suggest that you go to Cat Tien if you are a birder. Some of the wildlife I saw was Great Hornbill, White-rumped Shama, Siamese Firebacks, Long-tailed Macaque, and crocodiles. I saw all this wildlife while walking and biking around the park on my own and also while on a birding tour with an excellent bird guide named Trong.
Hopefully after watching this video you will be inspired to travel to Vietnam and come to Cat Tien. Vietnam in general is an amazing place for travel for its cheap prices and rich culture, but for a wildlife fanatic it is especially interesting because of the diversity of tropical animals you can see. Throughout the video, I give tips on how to enhance your experience while looking for wildlife at Cat Tien, so be sure to watch until the end!

The most beautiful place in Ninh Binh Vietnam - Van Long Nature Reserve
We spent 5 amazing days in Ninh Binh and found one of the most beautiful places we have ever come across. So much peacefulness and tranquility, Ninh Binh was spectacular in our eyes.
For our first stop, we visited Cuc Phuong National Park located in Ninh Binh province. Here we checked out a monkey and turtle rescue center to learn all about the animals from our guide that worked at the rescue center.
Cuc Phuong National Park - Endangered Primate Rescue Center
Address: đường rừng Cúc Phương, Cúc Phương, Nho Quan, Ninh Bình, Vietnam
Hours: Monday - Sunday 8:30–11:30am, 1:30–4:30pm
We then set out to go on a hike to visit a 1,000 year old ancient tree although only one of us makes the journey!
Address: Nho Quan District, Ninh Bình Province 432857, Vietnam
Hours: Monday - Sunday 8am–6pm
So where is the most beautiful place in Ninh Binh, Vietnam? We reckon it's Van Long Nature Reserve. We sat in awe during what we felt was the most beautiful destination of our entire Vietnam trip. Van Long Wetland Nature Reserve was more peaceful than the already awesome Trang An but with the same special breath taking beauty and more wildlife. Van Long was a simply magical destination and a must visit in Ninh Binh, Vietnam.
The next day we headed over to the more touristy area Tam Coc and opted to skip the rowboat ride there since we heard it was less enjoyable from a few sources including our own tour guide consultant.
Instead we had lunch at a popular lunch spot - Family Restaurant to get some energy for our final adventure (Thung Nam Bird Park).
Family Restaurant
Address: Ninh Hải, Hoa Lư District, Ninh Bình Province 43000, Vietnam
Hours: Monday - Sunday 8am–12am
For our final destination we headed over to Thung Nham Bird Park. Entry prices were a little steep comparatively to other tourist activities at 200,000 vietnamese dong however the bird park was very large and well kept. Definitely recommend taking a bicycle over there rather than a scooter so you can cycle around Thung Nham Bird Park and enjoy exploring the sights. Scooters have to be left at the entrance but bicycles can go inside the park.
Thung Nham Bird Park
Address: Thôn Hải Nham, Hoa Lư District, Ninh Bình Province, Vietnam
Hours: Monday - Sunday 7am–6pm
Our private tour operator during our stay in Ninh Binh was Tommy’s Travel Service. Tommy is a Ninh Binh local unlike many of the other Ninh Binh tour operators and he organized an awesome tailored schedule for us. Our driver was the kind Mr. Ha. If you're planning to visit Ninh Binh Vietnam, we highly recommend Tommy's Travel Service. He's a really nice guy too.
This is the final video in our Vietnam series! We hope you've enjoyed following us along on our journey :) Be sure to check out our other videos from Vietnam if you're planning a trip this awesome country.

Legendary Hoan Kiem Turtle Hanoi Vietnam - Last footage before he died
While filming in Hanoi with our Drone camera with YESD organization, we spotted the legendary Hoan Kiem turtle near to the turtle tower in the middle of the lake. Less than a month after we made this footage, the turtle passed away and we found out that we recorded the last footage ever of the turtle. Also, it is the only known aerial footage ever made of this legendary turtle, known as Cụ Rùa, meaning “great grandfather turtle” in Vietnamese. We made this footage on the 22nd of December 2015, one day after the official date that it was claimed the last time the turtle was seen alive. This turtle is incredibly rare as it believed that there are only 4 in the whole world. Now there are only three living specimens of the Rafetus swinhoei turtle remaining in the world.
Planet Hero feels very blessed to have seen the legendary Hoan Kiem turtle.

Home to an extensive collection of historical and cultural attractions, Vietnam is undoubtedly one of the most fascinating countries in Southeast Asia. Nature enthusiasts can also find plenty of sightseeing opportunities throughout their holiday, ranging from pristine beaches and untouched islets to towering mountains and tropical forests housing thousands of rare wildlife species. There’s even a Sahara-like desert landscape where you can enjoy thrilling activities such as sandboarding and quad biking. For those looking to experience the local lifestyle, Vietnam has hill-tribes and rice farmers along the north mountain ranges, while fisherman villages are scattered throughout the middle and southern regions of the country. We’ve compiled a list of the 10 most amazing landscapes in Vietnam, each of which offer truly unique photo opportunities and experiences for the adventurous at heart.

8. Boa Viagem Beach, Brazil
Brazilian beaches are some of the most popular tourist destinations in the world!! Boa Viagem Beach is a beach that is located near the city of Recife and is surrounded by high-rise buildings and a beautiful boardwalk. So what’s the problem? Recife has one of the highest shark attack rates in the world. The water is plagued with tiger sharks and bull sharks, so people are warned to stay out of the ocean. Boa Viagem Beach is where most of the attacks have occurred and it is now considered one of the top 10 most dangerous beaches in the world.
This is a relatively new phenomenon as before the 1990’s there were no reported attacks. In the 1980’s a large port called Port Suape was built and during the construction they interrupted the breeding and hunting habitats of many kinds of sharks.
In the past 20 years, there have been almost 60 shark attacks in Recife with a death rate of 37%. According to the Florida State Museum of Natural History, this is much higher than the worldwide shark attack fatality rate which is currently 16%. This could partially be due to the fact that there are millions of beachgoers and lots of aggressive sharks sharing the water.
The waters off of Boa Viagem are so dangerous, that lifeguards no longer train there, but in a swimming pool instead. They receive special shark attack training and are equipped with an electronic device called a SharkShield to hopefully deter sharks when they are trying to rescue someone. Currently the only solution is a program that catches the sharks, tags them with tracking devices, and releases them far from the shore in an artificial reef.
7. Le Mat Snake Village, Vietnam
This village just outside Hanoi, is famous for its snake charmers and snake meat. This place is not for the faint of heart! Known as “snake village”, tourists can sample a wide variety of snake meat and swallow the still-beating heart of a cobra. The most popular snakes are grass snakes and cobras, and tourists go to the snake farms where they can touch the snakes before eating them. I’m not sure who is more afraid, the tourist or the snake!!
Legend has it that a snake swallowed a princess while she was on the lake. Her father, the King, promised to reward anyone who could save her. A peasant by the name of Le Mat rescued the Princess and the King honored him by giving him a fortune, and land, naming it after him. There is yearly festival from March 20th to 24th where villagers organize snake dance festivals in honor of the hero.
Adventurous tourists will drink the snake blood mixed with rice liquor and cheers. Bloody Mary herself would probably never drink that!
As you probably know, cobras are extremely venomous and can spit their venom into a victims eyes, causing blindness. Most of these snakes are kept in small cages and are extremely agitated before they are killed making it very dangerous to be near them since they are killed in front of you. If you are accidentally bitten you must get the antivenom immediately or you can die. Eating snake can have serious medical consequences, especially if it is consumed immediately and the place is unhygenic. The snake meat could easily have parasites, bacteria, and a high presence of heavy metals that you are consuming which could result in severe illness or disease. You could be killed by residual venom, or eat a contaminated bone. The snake’s head can still bite even 20 minutes after being cut off. Several chefs have died from severed head bites, even though they are used to preparing snake meat on a daily basis. Do you still want to try that cobra?
6. The Sahara Desert Tour
The Sahara desert in northern Africa is the largest, hottest desert in the world. Even though it is extremely harsh, tourists are flocking to the desert by the thousands for extreme tourism. If you have enough water, supplies, and a good guide, you should be completely fine. But that doesn’t mean you won’t see some of the most dangerous animals on the planet!
There are plenty of snakes and scorpions, including the deathstalker scorpion which is extremely venomous. This scorpion is about 4 in (10 cm) in length and usually hides under rocks but can be very aggressive when threatened.
Origins Explained is the place to be to find all the answers to your questions, from mysterious events and unsolved mysteries to everything there is to know about the world and its amazing animals!
