Halong Bay - World Heritage
The legend of Halong mind that, â € œOnce a time, shortly after the Viet people established their country, invaders came. The Jade Emperor sent Mother Dragon and Child Dragons to earth to help the Viet people fight against the enemy. Appropriate in the invaders € ™ boats when they ran to the shore, the dragons land down on earth. The dragons immediately sent out of his mouth a lot of pearls, which later became thousands of stone islands emerging in the sea like great walls challenging the invaders ships € ™. The speedboats couldn € ™ t be stopped and crashed into the islands and in the other and broke into pieces.
After the victory, Mother Dragon and Child Dragons I didnâ € ™ t change the sky, but stayed on earth at the site of the battle had occurred. The location Mother Dragon landed today days is Halong Bay and Child Dragons descended is now Bai Tu Long. The ™ € dragons tails waving water created Long Vi (now Peninsula Tra Co) and formed a fine sand beach over ten kilometers € Longa.
Abuts Cat Ba Island in the southwest. To the west is the beach with a 120 kilometer of coastline. The site is 1553 square kilometers, with 1969 islands of various sizes, of which 989 have been appointed.
The islands in Halong Bay are mainly of limestone and schist islands most lying in the two main areas: the southeastern part of Bai Tu Long Bay and southwestern part of Halong Bay. These islands represent the most ancient images of a geographic site with a tectonic age from 250 million to 280 million years. They are often the result of increasing and reduction processes of the continent to form a karst. The process of nearly full erosion and weathering of the karst created the unique Halong Bay in the world. In an area not very large, thousands of islands with different shapes appear bright emeralds attached to the blue scarf of a virgin. The area where many stone islands concentrate has spectacular scenes and world-famous caves and is the center of the Natural Heritage of Halong Bay, including Halong Bay and a part of Bai Tu Long Bay.
The area is known as World Natural Heritage, which is the area of 434 square km with 775 islands. It resembles a giant triangle with Dau Go Island (in the west), Ba Ham Lake (south) and Cong Tay Island (in the east) as its three angle points. The area near the buffer zone and areas classified as national beauty spots in 1962 by the Ministry of Culture and Information.
Viewed from above, Halong Bay looks like an extremely vivid picture of great. This is a marvelous work of art and business of creation and the nature that turns thousands of soulless stone islands into fantastic moves and artistic sculptures in different elegant shapes, both familiar and strange beings humans. Thousands of islands emerging uneven in the fanciful waves look strong and magnificent but also mild and vivid. Amidst these islands we feel as if we astray in a petrified legendary world. There are many names given to islands according to their shapes and forms. This looks like somebody heading toward the shore: Hon Dau Nguoi (Human Head Island), that one looks like a dragon hovering above the sea surface: Hon Rong (Dragon Island), another looks like an old man sitting fishing: Hon La Vong, some look like big sails struggling amidst the wind went to the sea: Hon Canh Buom (Sail Island), then two islands look like a pair of chicken lovingly playing with each other on the sea: Hon Trong Mai (Male and Female Chicken Island), and amid the vast sea stands an island like a big incense burner like a ritual offering to Heaven: Hon Lu Huong (Incense Burner Island). All are so real that people are surprised by them. Those stone islands have experienced unpredictable changes over time and take different forms from different viewing angles. Here, we realize that inanimate things are not fools, but they are alive and soul.
Inside the stone islands are breathing more taking caves, such as Thien Cung, Dau Go, Sung Sot, Trinh Nu, Tam Cung and others. These are really magnificent palaces of the Creation on earth. Long ago, Bay Halong has been called by the great national poet Nguyen Trai: â € œà wonder of the earth erected towards the high skya €. Many men of letters from all over the world have been caught in the grand scene of Halong. Appeared puzzled and incompetent as the treasure of vocabulary is not rich enough to describe the splendor of this place.
Halong Bay is also attached to glorious pages of Vietnamese history, with famous sites such as Van Don, a bustling trade port in the 12th century, charming Bai Tho Mountain, not far from here is the Bach Dang River which witnessed two famous naval battles of the Vieta ™ € s ancestors against invaders. Furthermore, Halong is one of the cradles of humanity with the glorious Halong culture in the late Neolithic period, discovered in archaeological sites such as Dong Mang, Xích Tho, Soi Nhu and Thoi Gieng.
Halong is also home to a rich biodiversity of ecosystems typical of systems such as mangrove forests, coral reefs and forests tropics. It is also home to thousands of plants and animals of many species, such as shrimp, fish and squid. Some species are especially rare and can be found elsewhere.
With such special values, at the 18th meeting of UNESCOâ € ™ s World Heritage Council held on 17 December 1994 in Thailand, Halong Bay was officially listed as a World Natural Heritage. In 2000, UNESCO recognized it as a World Heritage Site by the second time for its geographical and geomorphologic values. This confirms the global premier value of Halong Bay.
Wherever he comes, whoever you are and however old you are, certainly experience the same emotion and feeling when admiring this wonder of stone and water. And great experiences will always remain, even when I leave the place. The legend of Mother Dragon and Child Dragons sending pearls to form thousands of stone islands to stop invaders still serve as the soul of this invaluable heritage of the world.
Have you ever come to Halong, the world unique wonder of its kind, to admire and explore secretes implicit in place?
