It's a good 3 hours drive from Hanoi and it wasn't a good day weather-wise, cool and a bit drizzly at times. The karst-type rock formations rise from the sea and are quite spectacular. We had a junk ride to view some, with a seafood lunch on board.
We stopped to tour two impressive caves, housing many stalactites and stalagmites displayed well with coloured lighting, although the destructive effects of hands touching them not yet been fully understood. Some creative cement work has also been included, although quite well done, including a larger nipple replacement to a mammary-shape rock that had been rubbed away!
It was a long day but well worth it despite the gloomy and chilly conditions.
