Emerald Cruise & Land Tour: Hanoi & Halong Bay Vietnam
Source: Our analysis of the creator's lived experience, based on what they said in this video.
Creator's Key Takeaways
We would highly recommend a side trip to Halan Bay if visiting Hanoi.
I would also do at least a twoight, three-day cruise versus a one- night cruise as there is so much to experience in the bay during daylight hours.
What an experience and a great start to our emerald tour of Vietnam.
The prison was built by the French between 1896 and 1901 when Vietnam was still part of French Indo-China.
