Beauty and Wildlife in Halong
Halong is home to several thousand islands, each of which differs not only in size but also in flora and fauna. Not far from Halong is the Catba National Park, where unique animal life such as rhinoceros birds, deer, pigs, and francois monkeys live in harmony with nature.
Halong's plant life is perhaps one of the most amazing in the whole world. After all, where else can you find several thousand blocks of rock submerged in water and covered in lush tropical trees.
