To avoid confusion, you should buy a map of Halong when you arrive in the Vietnamese city. It shows not only the main tourist attractions, but also the natural sights.
Thanks to the city map, you will learn that Halong is divided into two parts - east and west. These two parts are connected by a large bridge. The eastern side has the city's industrial facilities, while the western side has hotels, the Bai Chay Tourist Wharf and the bus terminal.
A map of Halong with hotels can help you understand where accommodation in the city is concentrated, how to get there and what's nearby. If you're not sure you can understand the local characters and symbols, then make sure you buy a map of Halong.
