Highlights:
Halong City is located in the west of the Beibu Gulf of Halong Bay. The city is divided into two parts by the bay, called BaiChay in the west and HonGai in the east. Accommodation is available on both sides, but Baique has a long-distance bus station and a wharf, so there are more options for hotels and restaurants. This is one of the tourist centers. In fact, it can only be regarded as a tourist center, that's all, because there is nothing to offer other than going to Halong Bay from here. So most people just use Ha Long city as another landing point for excursions to Ha Long Bay outside of Hai Phong city.
