HALONG BAY – LAN HA BAY – ROSY CRUISES 3D2N
With this cruise we’ll take you to the less visited and more enchanting scenery including many unique destinations such as Three Peaches Beach Area, Dark and Bright Cave, Viet Hai village on Cat Ba National Park (for 3D2N).
Viet Hai is a small village in the midst of jungles, covered by high mountains range of the Cat Ba National Park, which belongs to Cat Hai district of Hai Phong city. Few years ago, Viet Hai was absolutely separated with the outside world. The local residents lived their self-supply life as the primitive human of thousand years ago. Because of this cultural practice, foreign visitors to this village increase gradually.
