There are many travel styles to choose from, depending on your preferences and budget. Vietnam has always been one of the top destinations for tourists around the world to visit because of its impressive history, riveting culture, exquisite food, and enchanting scenery; Halong Bay is of course in the list because of so many great reasons. However, many guests have heard of how Halong Bay has been deteriorated as the nature scene is being ruined by a plenty of crowds. These are some concerns that will be explained below, to \u201cjustify\u201d for the one and only majestic Halong Bay.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Pollution\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><b>1. Pollution<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first and foremost concern of visiting the Bay nowadays is how polluted it is because the destination has been so famous and wide open to all kinds of visitors for the past 10 years. Along with the open door, sewage created from an overwhelming number of guests has been floating around and bugged the ecosystem here. It was a concern a few years ago. But the authorities of Quang Ninh Province, as well as some cruise operators, have worked hard to conquer the challenge to bring back the pristine beauty of Halong Bay. Plus many hidden gems across the Bay has not been widely known to the public, so if embarking on a reputable cruise with exciting itinerary like <a href=\"http:\/\/bhayacruises.com\">Bhaya<\/a>, tourists can also have the opportunity to step on these off the beaten path destinations and will be completely charmed by how Mother Nature being able to offer so much through time transformation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2310\" src=\"https:\/\/bhayacruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Legend-3-Cabins-2-e1544692411599.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Crowd\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><b>2.

If choosing Vietnam to explore, you got to be ready to see many other foreigners around. Halong Bay is not an exception for its easy access. But there\u2019s a twist right here. When you\u2019re generous with the budget and time spent in Vietnam, it is highly recommended you should reach out to further areas of the Bay, to also be in awe of how vast and breathtaking Lan Ha Bay and Bai Tu Long Bay can return. Also, being here around the colder season is more suitable for most overseas guests as more holidays happened during that time, so you don\u2019t have to cut down too many off-days, plus domestic visitors often cannot travel during this time so you won\u2019t feel too cramped. \u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joining an overnight cruise, in this case, is the best idea because the cruise will allow you to travel to as far as you want, especially the charter cruise. In these areas, you can sense the deep connection of self with Nature and nothing else. Time is stopped. Hence, your peace of mind can be recovered from the hustle and bustle of the gaudy crowd.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1399\" src=\"https:\/\/bhayacruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/VQK_5525-e1540529394793.jpg\" alt=\"kayak-in-halong-bay\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Safety\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">3.
